diff: fix handling of binary rewrite diffs
The current emit_rewrite_diff code always writes a text patch without checking whether the content is binary. This means that if you end up with a rewrite diff for a binary file, you get lots of raw binary goo in your patch. Instead, if we have binary files, then let's just skip emit_rewrite_diff altogether. We will already have shown the "dissimilarity index" line, so it is really about the diff contents. If binary diffs are turned off, the "Binary files a/file and b/file differ" message should be the same in either case. If we do have binary patches turned on, there isn't much point in making a less-efficient binary patch that does a total rewrite; no human is going to read it, and since binary patches don't apply with any fuzz anyway, the result of application should be the same.
