diff: teach --stat to ignore uninteresting modifications
When options such as --ignore-space-change are in use, files with
modifications can have no interesting textual changes worth showing. In
such cases, "git diff --stat" shows 0 lines of additions and deletions.
Teach "git diff --stat" not to show such a path in its output, which
would be more natural.
However, we don't want to prevent the display of all files that have 0
effective diffs since they could be the result of a rename, permission
change, or other similar operation that may still be of interest so we
special case additions and deletions as they are always interesting.
