[PATCH 2/3] diff: make sure work tree side is shown as 0{40} when different

Ping Yin noticed that "git diff-index --raw" shows 0{40} when work tree has submodule difference, but "git diff --raw" didn't correctly do so.

There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read from the submodule repository HEAD. When ce_stat_match() says work tree is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side.

This patch fixes the issue, and adds tests.
