Fix ugly magic special case in exact rename detection
For historical reasons, the exact rename detection had populated the filespecs for the entries it compared, and the rest of the similarity analysis depended on that. I hadn't even bothered to debug why that was the case when I re-did the rename detection, I just made the new one have the same broken behaviour, with a note about this special case. This fixes that fixme. The reason the exact rename detector needed to fill in the file sizes of the files it checked was that the _inexact_ rename detector was broken, and started comparing file sizes before it filled them in. Fixing that allows the exact phase to do the sane thing of never even caring (since all *it* cares about is really just the SHA1 itself, not the size nor the contents). It turns out that this also indirectly fixes a bug: trying to populate all the filespecs will run out of virtual memory if there is tons and tons of possible rename options. The fuzzy similarity analysis does the right thing in this regard, and free's the blob info after it has generated the hash tables, so the special case code caused more trouble than just some extra illogical code.
