When generating diffs for binary files, we load and decompress the blobs in order to generate the actual diff, which can be very costly. While we cannot avoid this for the case when we are called with the `GIT_DIFF_SHOW_BINARY` flag, we do not have to load the blobs in the case where this flag is not set, as the caller is expected to have no interest in the actual content of binary files. Fix the issue by only generating a binary diff when the caller is actually interested in the diff. As libgit2 uses heuristics to determine that a blob contains binary data by inspecting its size without loading from the ODB, this saves us quite some time when diffing in a repository with binary files.
