Diff renders only the edited files and skips freeing at exit (refs #41) 10b4fd430eab

State::materialize_nodes renders the text files of the given nodes
without building a set of every other file to leave out, used for a
change's base; oxy diff forgets its structures as the process ends.
Phases for the base rendering and the diff rendering. On the Linux tree,
one file edited: 0.19 to 0.21 s (from 0.25 s; Git 0.08 s).

5		-	- Status twice as fast as Git on the Linux tree (#41). With uncommitted work, `oxy status` answers from a status cache while every file is as the last snapshot left it, and the manifest keeps every directory's time, so the tree is listed only when a directory's entries changed. One edited file is 0.10 to 0.12 s (from 0.44 s; Git 0.22 s) and a clean status 0.09 to 0.12 s (Git 0.20 to 0.26 s), in 80 MB. `oxy diff` renders the working copy from the cache too (0.25 s, from 0.41 s). A file written within the racy window is now hashed by the prompt's check too, as it was by status.
