diff: shortcut for diff'ing two binary SHA-1 objects

If we are given two SHA-1 and asked to determine if they are different
(but not _what_ differences), we know right away by comparing SHA-1.

A side effect of this patch is, because large files are marked binary,
diff-tree will not need to unpack them. 'diff-index --cached' will not
either. But 'diff-files' still does.
