diffcore-rename: avoid doing basename comparisons for irrelevant sources

The basename comparison optimization implemented in
find_basename_matches() is very beneficial since it allows a source to
sometimes only be compared with one other file instead of N other files.
When a match is found, both a source and destination can be removed from
the matrix of inexact rename comparisons.  In contrast, the irrelevant
source optimization only allows us to remove a source from the matrix of
inexact rename comparisons...but it has the advantage of allowing a
source file to not even be loaded into memory at all and be compared to
0 other files.  Generally, not even comparing is a bigger performance
win, so when both optimizations could apply, prefer to use the
irrelevant-source optimization.

For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac03 ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
this change improves the performance as follows:

                            Before                  After
    no-renames:        5.607 s ±  0.068 s     5.671 s ±  0.052 s
    mega-renames:    102.714 s ±  0.233 s    13.653 s ±  0.104 s
    just-one-mega:     3.511 s ±  0.017 s   499.4  ms ±  3.6  ms
