feat!: generalize rename-tracking engine for later use with status.

Previously the rename tracking engine was integrated with tree-diffs,
but already operates in a stand-alone fashion.
Now it's officially generalized which allows it to be tested separately
and used when tracking renames for diffs between index and tree, index
and index, and index and worktree.
