Add lstat() error handling not only for ENOENT case.
Otherwise uninitialised 'struct stat st' variable is used later in case of
lstat() non-ENOENT failure which leads to processing of rubbish values of
file mode ('S_ISLNK(st.st_mode)' check) or size ('xsize_t(st.st_size)').

Hello,
I've injected a fault to git binary with the internal tool for fault tolerance
evaluation: lstat() returns '-1' and errno is set to 'EACCES' at
diff_populate_filespec git/diff.c:2850.
In a real life it's very difficult to reproduce such behaviour.
I'm not sure why only ENOENT error of lstat() is considered as an error but
passing
by other errno values leads to reading of uninitialized 'struct stat st'
variable.
It means that the populated 'diff_filespec' structure may be incorrectly filled.
Also diff_populate_filespec() result is not checked at
diff_filespec_is_binary() but
it seems OK there.
Best regards,
Andrey
