/**
 * @brief Perform diff for all siblings at certain depth, recursively.
 *
 * For user-ordered lists/leaf-lists a specific structure is used for storing
 * the current order. The idea is to apply all the generated diff changes
 * virtually on the first tree so that we can continue to generate correct
 * changes after some were already generated.
 *
 * The algorithm then uses second tree position-based changes with a before
 * (preceding) item anchor.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * Virtual first tree leaf-list order:
 * 1 2 [3] 4 5
 *
 * Second tree leaf-list order:
 * 1 2 [5] 3 4
 *
 * We are at the 3rd node now. We look at whether the nodes on the 3rd position
 * match - they do not - move nodes so that the 3rd position node is final ->
 * -> move node 5 to the 3rd position -> move node 5 after node 2.
 *
 * Required properties:
 * Stored operations (move) should not be affected by later operations -
 * - would cause a redundantly long list of operations, possibly inifinite.
 *
 * Implemenation justification:
 * First, all delete operations and only then move/create operations are stored.
 * Also, preceding anchor is used and after each iteration another node is
 * at its final position. That results in the invariant that all preceding
 * nodes are final and will not be changed by the later operations, meaning
 * they can safely be used as anchors for the later operations.
 *
 * @param[in] first First tree first sibling.
 * @param[in] second Second tree first sibling.
 * @param[in] options Diff options.
 * @param[in,out] diff Diff to append to.
 * @return LY_ERR value.
