[PATCH 0/2] line-log: fix -L with pickaxe options

This series fixes a crash in git log -L when combined with pickaxe options (-G, -S, or --find-object) on a history involving renames, reported in [1].

The crash bisects to a2bb801f6a (line-log: avoid unnecessary full tree diffs, 2019-08-21), which made the diffcore_std() call in queue_diffs() unconditional. Before that commit, the same combination silently truncated history at rename boundaries rather than crashing. The root cause is that diffcore_std() runs diffcore_pickaxe(), which may discard diff pairs needed for rename detection.

Patch 1 fixes the crash by calling diffcore_rename() directly instead of diffcore_std(), and adds tests including known-breakage markers showing that the pickaxe options are silently ignored by -L.

Patch 2 explicitly rejects the unsupported combination with die(), replacing the known-breakage tests with rejection tests.
