The behavior of "git diff --stat" is rather odd for files that have
zero lines of changes: it will discount them entirely unless they were
renames.
Which means that the stat output will simply not show files that only
had "other" changes: they were created or deleted, or their mode was
changed.
Now, those changes do show up in the summary, but so do renames, so
the diffstat logic is inconsistent. Why does it show renames with zero
lines changed, but not mode changes or added files with zero lines
changed?
So change the logic to not check for "is_renamed", but for
"is_interesting" instead, where "interesting" is judged to be any
action but a pure data change (because a pure data change with zero
data changed really isn't worth showing, if we ever get one in our
diffpairs).
So if you did
chmod +x Makefile
git diff --stat
before, it would show empty (" 0 files changed"), with this it shows
Makefile | 0
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
which I think is a more correct diffstat (and then with "--summary" it
shows *what* the metadata change to Makefile was - this is completely
consistent with our handling of renamed files).
Side note: the old behavior was *really* odd. With no changes at all,
"git diff --stat" output was empty. With just a chmod, it said "0
files changed". No way is our legacy behavior sane.

Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on
the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means
that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames
and the graph.
The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for
"Bin XXX -> YYY bytes".
If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files,
change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other
way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then
"Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +-
part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files.
This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty
column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change.
Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output.
This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of
up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added
to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file
change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

Ever since v1.7.9.2~13 (2012-02-01), git's diffstat-style summary line
produced by "git apply --stat", "git diff --stat", and "git commit"
varies by locale, producing test failures when GETTEXT_POISON is set.

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line
"%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form
whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted
unless they are both zero.
This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced
their output, and also makes this line translatable.
