sources.list and indextargets option for pdiffs
Disabling pdiffs can be useful occasionally, like if you have a fast
local mirror where the download doesn't matter, but still want to use it
for non-local mirrors. Also, some users might prefer it to only use it
for very big indextargets like Contents.
