diffstat_consume(): assert non-zero length
The callback interface for xdiff_emit_line_fn gives us a line/len pair,
but diffstat_consume() never looks at "len". At first glance this seems
like a bug that could cause us to read further than xdiff intends. But
in practice, we read only the first character, and xdiff would never
pass us an empty line.
Let's add a run-time assertion that this is true, which clarifies our
assumption and silences -Wunused-parameter.
