By default, `diffcore_std()` resolves the statuses for queued diff file
pairs by calling `diff_resolve_rename_copy()`. If status information is
already manually set, invoking `diffcore_std()` may change the status
value.
Introduce the `skip_resolving_statuses` diff option that prevents
`diffcore_std()` from resolving file pair statuses when enabled.
