[PATCH] Fix type-change handling when assigning the status code to filepairs.

The interim single-liner '?' fix resulted delete entries that should not have emitted coming out in the output as an unintended side effect; I caught this with the "rename" test in the test suite. This patch instead fixes the code that assigns the status code to each filepair.

I verified this does not break the testcase in udev.git tree Kay Sievers gave us, by running git-diff-tree on that tree which showed 21 file to symlink changes.

*** Linus, it just struck me that there is nothing inherently *** wrong to detect whole subtree renames (diffcore-rename *** currently does not attempt to match tree creation against *** tree delete to produce tree rename/copy). This is something *** I am _not_ going to do, but it still would be interesting to *** keep in mind...
