Add config variable for specifying default --dirstat behavior

The new diff.dirstat config variable takes the same arguments as
'--dirstat=<args>', and specifies the default arguments for --dirstat.
The config is obviously overridden by --dirstat arguments passed on the
command line.

When not specified, the --dirstat defaults are 'changes,noncumulative,3'.

The patch also adds several tests verifying the interaction between the
diff.dirstat config variable, and the --dirstat command line option.

+diff.dirstat::
+	A comma separated list of `--dirstat` parameters specifying the
+	default behavior of the `--dirstat` option to linkgit:git-diff[1]`
+	and friends. The defaults can be overridden on the command line
+	(using `--dirstat=<param1,param2,...>`). The fallback defaults
+	(when not changed by `diff.dirstat`) are `changes,noncumulative,3`.
+	The following parameters are available:

+--
+`changes`;;
+	Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been
+	removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores
+	the amount of pure code movements within a file.  In other words,
+	rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
+	This is the default behavior when no parameter is given.
+`files`;;
+	Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed.
+	Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is
+	the computationally cheapest `--dirstat` behavior, since it does
+	not have to look at the file contents at all.
+`cumulative`;;
+	Count changes in a child directory for the parent directory as well.
+	Note that when using `cumulative`, the sum of the percentages
+	reported may exceed 100%. The default (non-cumulative) behavior can
+	be specified with the `noncumulative` parameter.
+<limit>;;
+	An integer parameter specifies a cut-off percent (3% by default).
+	Directories contributing less than this percentage of the changes
+	are not shown in the output.
+--

+Example: The following will count changed files, while ignoring
+directories with less than 10% of the total amount of changed files,
+and accumulating child directory counts in the parent directories:
+`files,10,cumulative`.
