[PATCH 1/3] combine-diff: zero memory used for callback filepairs

[Toon Claes <toon@iotcl.com>]

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

In commit 25e5e2bf85 (combine-diff: support format_callback,
2011-08-19), the combined-diff code learned how to make a multi-sourced
`diff_filepair` to pass to a diff callback. When we create each
filepair, we do not bother to fill in many of the fields, because they
would make no sense (e.g. there can be no rename score or broken_pair
flag because we do not go through the diffcore filters). However, we did
not even bother to zero them, leading to random values. Let's make sure
everything is blank with xcalloc(), just as the regular diff code does.

We would potentially want to set the `status` flag to
something non-zero, but it is not clear to what. Possibly a
new DIFF_STATUS_COMBINED would make sense, as this is not
strictly a modification, nor does it fit any other category.

Since it is not yet clear what callers would want, this
patch simply leaves it as `0`, the same empty flag that is
seen when `diffcore_std` is not used at all.
