diffcore-rename: speed up register_rename_src

Teach register_rename_src() to see if new file pair
can simply be appended to the rename_src[] array before
performing the binary search to find the proper insertion
point.

This is a performance optimization.  This routine is called
during run_diff_files in status and the caller is iterating
over the sorted index, so we should expect to be able to
append in the normal case.  The existing insert logic is
preserved so we don't have to assume that, but simply take
advantage of it if possible.
