pickaxe -G: don't special-case create/delete

Instead of special-casing creations and deletions let's just generate
a diff for them.

This logic of not running a diff under -G if we don't have both sides
dates back to the original implementation of -S in
52e9578985f ([PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool
"pickaxe"., 2005-05-21).

In the case of -S we were not working with the xdiff interface and
needed to do this, but when -G was implemented in f506b8e8b5f (git
log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text, 2010-08-23)
this logic was diligently copied over.

But as the performance test added earlier in this series shows, this
does not make much of a difference. With:

    time GIT_TEST_LONG= GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 CFLAGS=-O3' ./run origin/next HEAD~ HEAD -- p4209-pickaxe.sh

With the HEAD~ commit being the preceding "pickaxe -G: terminate early
on matching lines" we get these results. Note that it's only the -G
codepaths that are relevant to this change:

This small simplification really doesn't buy us much now, but I've got
plans to both convert the pickaxe code to using a PCREv2 backend[1]
and to implement additional pickaxe modes to do custom searches
through the diff[2]. Always having the diff available under -G is
going to help to simplify both of those changes.
