Decouple diff stats query from actual diffing (go-gitea#33810)

The diff stats are no longer part of the diff generation.
Use `GetDiffShortStat` instead to get the total number of changed files,
added lines, and deleted lines.
As such, `gitdiff.GetDiff` can be simplified:
It should not do more than expected.

And do not run "git diff --shortstat" for pull list. Fix go-gitea#31492
