This patches python3 diff_match_patch.py to take two shortcuts in bitap score calculation. First, it does an integer comparison before forcing a cast to float, and second, if it gets a score of 0.0, it returns it. All relevant tests pass, as I would expect, because one can demonstrate that this works just by reading the code carefully. I know that this patch could be transfered to the C# version as well, I suspect that all versions have this inefficiency.
