Subject: [PATCH] Fix local variables overwritten when diff-mode is set

* lisp/vc/diff-mode.el (diff-mode):
(diff-setup-buffer-type): Defun to initialize `diff-buffer-type'

* lisp/vc/vc.el (vc-diff-finish): Set `diff-buffer-type' after content
inserted
(vc-diff-internal): Restore `diff-mode' being set before local
variables (bug#51016).
