pickaxe -G: terminate early on matching lines

Solve a long-standing item for "git log -Grx" of us e.g. finding "+
str" in the diff context and noting that we had a "hit", but xdiff
diligently continuing to generate and spew the rest of the diff at
us. This makes use of a new "early return" xdiff interface added by
preceding commits.

The TODO item (or, the NEEDSWORK comment) has been there since "git
log -G" was implemented. See f506b8e (git log/diff: add -G<regexp>
that greps in the patch text, 2010-08-23).

But now with the support added in the preceding changes to the
xdiff-interface we can return early. Let's assert the behavior of that
new early-return xdiff-interface by having a BUG() call here to die if
it ever starts handing us needless work again.
