log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option

The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if
rename or copy detection is active.  For example, with raw format one
might see:

  ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	describe.c
  ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	bar.sh
  ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	phooey.c

This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the
first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names
of phooey.c were in either of the parents.  In contrast, for non-merge
commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score
to boot).  In order to also provide original filenames for merge
commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with
either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy
detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when
renames are involved.  This transforms the above output to:

  ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	desc.c	desc.c	desc.c
  ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	foo.sh	bar.sh	bar.sh
  ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	fooey.c	fuey.c	phooey.c

Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that
instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.
For example, instead of having

  --- a/phooey.c
  +++ b/phooey.c

we would see

  --- a/fooey.c
  --- a/fuey.c
  +++ b/phooey.c

. there are more "src" modes and "src" sha1
. status is concatenated status characters for each parent
. no optional "score" number
. single path, only for "dst"
. tab-separated pathname(s) of the file
Example:
For `-c` and `--cc`, only the destination or final path is shown even
if the file was renamed on any side of history. With
`--combined-all-paths`, the name of the path in each parent is shown
followed by the name of the path in the merge commit.
