hash binary sha1 into patch id

Since commit 2f82f76 (Take binary diffs into
account for "git rebase"), binary files are
included in patch ID computation. Binary files are
diffed using the text diff algorithm, however,
which has a huge impact on performance. The
following tests performance for a 50000 line file
marked as binary in .gitattributes.

$ git format-patch --stdout --ignore-if-in-upstream master

real    0m0.367s
user    0m0.354s
sys     0m0.010s

Instead of diffing the binary files, hash the pre-
and post-image sha1, which is just as unique. As a
result, performance is much improved.

$ git format-patch --stdout --ignore-if-in-upstream master

real    0m0.016s
user    0m0.015s
sys     0m0.001s
