[PATCH v3 5/6] diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binary

Too large files may lead to failure to allocate memory. If it happens here, it could impact quite a few commands that involve diff. Moreover, too large files are inefficient to compare anyway (and most likely non-text), so mark them binary and skip looking at their content. Noticed-by: Dale R. Wor
