diff: disable rename detection with --quiet
Detecting renames and copies improves diff's output. This effort is
wasted if we don't show any. Disable detection in that case.
This actually fixes the error code when using the options --cached,
--find-copies-harder, --no-ext-diff and --quiet together:
run_diff_index() indirectly calls diff-lib.c::show_modified(), which
queues even non-modified entries using diff_change() because we need
them for copy detection. diff_change() sets flags.has_changes, though,
which causes diff_can_quit_early() to declare we're done after seeing
only the very first entry -- way too soon.
Using --cached, --find-copies-harder and --quiet together without
--no-ext-diff was not affected even before, as it causes the flag
flags.diff_from_contents to be set, which disables the optimization
in a different way.
