Ref-count the filespecs used by diffcore

Rather than copy the filespecs when introducing new versions of them
(for rename or copy detection), use a refcount and increment the count
when reusing the diff_filespec.

This avoids unnecessary allocations, but the real reason behind this is
a future enhancement: we will want to track shared data across the
copy/rename detection.  In order to efficiently notice when a filespec
is used by a rename, the rename machinery wants to keep track of a
rename usage count which is shared across all different users of the
filespec.
