copy vs rename detection: avoid unnecessary O(n*m) loops
The core rename detection had some rather stupid code to check if a pathname was used by a later modification or rename, which basically walked the whole pathname space for all renames for each rename, in order to tell whether it was a pure rename (no remaining users) or should be considered a copy (other users of the source file remaining). That's really silly, since we can just keep a count of users around, and replace all those complex and expensive loops with just testing that simple counter (but this all depends on the previous commit that shared the diff_filespec data structure by using a separate reference count). Note that the reference count is not the same as the rename count: they behave otherwise rather similarly, but the reference count is tied to the allocation (and decremented at de-allocation, so that when it turns zero we can get rid of the memory), while the rename count is tied to the renames and is decremented when we find a rename (so that when it turns zero we know that it was a rename, not a copy).
