Fix issues with git_diff_find_similar
There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.) This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the public API slightly to make emulating core git easier. Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that. Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we don't need values out of that range. Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger issues about which files can and should be compared and how the various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated. Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier to follow..
