Merge branch 'en/ort-perf-batch-8'

Rename detection rework continues.

* en/ort-perf-batch-8:
  diffcore-rename: compute dir_rename_guess from dir_rename_counts
  diffcore-rename: limit dir_rename_counts computation to relevant dirs

+	 * 'build.gradle' that potentially exist within every single
+	 * subdirectory), and for performance we want to be able to quickly
+	 * find renames for these files too.
+	 *
+	 * The reason basename comparisons are a useful heuristic was that it
+	 * is common for people to move files across directories while keeping
+	 * their filename the same.  If we had a way of determining or even
+	 * making a good educated guess about which directory these non-unique
+	 * basename files had moved the file to, we could check it.
+	 * Luckily...
+	 *
+	 * When an entire directory is in fact renamed, we have two factors
+	 * helping us out:
+	 *   (a) the original directory disappeared giving us a hint
+	 *       about when we can apply an extra heuristic.
+	 *   (a) we often have several files within that directory and
+	 *       subdirectories that are renamed without changes
+	 * So, rules for a heuristic:
+	 *   (0) If there basename matches are non-unique (the condition under
+	 *       which this function is called) AND
+	 *   (1) the directory in which the file was found has disappeared
+	 *       (i.e. dirs_removed is non-NULL and has a relevant entry) THEN
+	 *   (2) use exact renames of files within the directory to determine
+	 *       where the directory is likely to have been renamed to.  IF
+	 *       there is at least one exact rename from within that
+	 *       directory, we can proceed.
+	 *   (3) If there are multiple places the directory could have been
+	 *       renamed to based on exact renames, ignore all but one of them.
+	 *       Just use the destination with the most renames going to it.
+	 *   (4) Check if applying that directory rename to the original file
+	 *       would result in a destination filename that is in the
+	 *       potential rename set.  If so, return the index of the
+	 *       destination file (the index within rename_dst).
+	 *   (5) Compare the original file and returned destination for
+	 *       similarity, and if they are sufficiently similar, record the
+	 *       rename.
+	 *
+	 * This function, idx_possible_rename(), is only responsible for (4).
+	 * The conditions/steps in (1)-(3) are handled via setting up
