PatchMake panics for a one-byte invalid UTF-8 string

Version

Reproduced with github.com/sergi/go-diff v1.4.0
(57c41f4cb9849a2e83cdbd7644b31e6d7a7e2586) on Go 1.24.10.

Minimal reproducer

package main

import "github.com/sergi/go-diff/diffmatchpatch"

func main() {
    input := string([]byte{0xe0})
    diffmatchpatch.New().PatchMake(input, "")
}

Observed result

panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range [3:1]

The top relevant frame is diffmatchpatch.(*DiffMatchPatch).patchMake2 at
patch.go:171.

Root cause

DiffMain converts the input string to []rune, so the invalid byte becomes
U+FFFD. The resulting delete diff contains the three-byte UTF-8 encoding of
U+FFFD. patchMake2 keeps the original one-byte postpatchText, then slices it
using the three-byte diff length at line 171.

Issue #21 documents the library's replacement behavior for invalid UTF-8.
Issues #31 and #127 report different PatchMake slice panics on valid-text
inputs and are closed; neither covers this invalid-byte length expansion.

Expected behavior

PatchMake should not panic for a value accepted by its public string API.
Normalizing the source consistently with the generated diffs (or otherwise
returning/documenting a controlled result) would avoid the out-of-bounds slice.
A regression test with string([]byte{0xe0}) covers the minimum case.
