diff: introduce --stat-lines to limit the stat lines
Often one is interested in the full --stat output only for commits which change a few files, but not others, because larger restructuring gives a --stat which fills a few screens. Introduce a new option --stat-count=<count> which limits the --stat output to the first <count> lines, followed by a "..." line. It can also be given as the third parameter in --stat=<width>,<name-width>,<count>. Also, the unstuck form is supported analogous to the other two stat parameters.

--patience::
Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.
---stat[=<width>[,<name-width>]]::
+--stat[=<width>[,<name-width>[,<count>]]]::
Generate a diffstat. You can override the default
output width for 80-column terminal by `--stat=<width>`.
The width of the filename part can be controlled by
giving another width to it separated by a comma.
+ By giving a third parameter `<count>`, you can limit the
+ output to the first `<count>` lines, followed by
+ `...` if there are more.
--numstat::
Similar to `\--stat`, but shows number of added and
