diff: support stat formats with -L

Reuse the line_range_filter in builtin_diffstat() so -L supports
the stat formats and add tests verifying the new behavior.

Ungate the newly enabled options and drop "yet" from the generic
-L rejection message ("does not yet support the requested diff
format"). Some rejected formats do not fit -L at all, so "yet"
wrongly implies they are all awaiting support.

_<start>_ and _<end>_ (or _<funcname>_) must exist in the starting revision.
You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`.
Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`.
Non-patch diff formats `--raw`, `--name-only`, `--name-status`,
and `--summary` are supported. Diff stat formats
(`--stat`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`) are not
currently implemented.
The following non-patch diff formats are supported: `--raw`,
`--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--summary`, `--stat`, `--numstat`,
and `--shortstat`. The stat formats count only lines within the tracked
range. `--dirstat` is not supported with `-L`: it summarizes change as each
directory's share of the total churn, not as counts for the tracked lines.
Use `--numstat` for exact per-file counts within the range.
+
Patch formatting options such as `--word-diff`, `--color-moved`,
`--no-prefix`, and whitespace options (`-w`, `-b`) are supported,
