rename: Break filepairs with different types.

When we consider if a path has been totally rewritten, we did not
touch changes from symlinks to files or vice versa.  But a change
that modifies even the type of a blob surely should count as a
complete rewrite.

While we are at it, modernise diffcore-break to be aware of gitlinks (we
do not want to touch them).
