diffcore_rename(): use a stable sort
During Git's rename detection, the file names are sorted. At the moment, this job is performed by `qsort()`. As that function is not guaranteed to implement a stable sort algorithm, this can lead to inconsistent and/or surprising behavior: a rename might be detected differently depending on the platform where Git was run. The `qsort()` in MS Visual C's runtime does _not_ implement a stable sort algorithm, and it even leads to an inconsistency leading to a test failure in t3030.35 "merge-recursive remembers the names of all base trees": a different code path than on Linux is taken in the rename detection of an ambiguous rename between either `e` to `a` or `a~Temporary merge branch 2_0` to `a` during a recursive merge, unexpectedly resulting in a clean merge. Let's use the stable sort provided by `git_stable_qsort()` to avoid this inconsistency.
