Merge branch 'nd/large-blobs'

Teach a few codepaths to punt (instead of dying) when large blobs
that would not fit in core are involved in the operation.

* nd/large-blobs:
  diff: shortcut for diff'ing two binary SHA-1 objects
  diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binary
  diff.c: allow to pass more flags to diff_populate_filespec
  sha1_file.c: do not die failing to malloc in unpack_compressed_entry
  wrapper.c: introduce gentle xmallocz that does not die()
