diffcore-rename: treat a rename_limit of 0 as unlimited

In commit 8997355 (diffcore-rename: make diff-tree -l0 mean
-l<large>, 2017-11-29), -l0 was given a special magical "large" value,
but one which was not large enough for some uses (as can be seen from
commit 9f7e4bf (diff: remove silent clamp of renameLimit,
2017-11-13).  Make 0 (or a negative value) be treated as unlimited
instead and update the documentation to mention this.
