When a commit has lots of files, it would be difficult to get the overview of the commit, although we can control the output of the magit-commit and magit-diff buffer by using magit-show-level-1 and so on.

This branch will includes support for git log --stat and git diff --patch-with-stat commands. so the either commit log or diff log will contains section like:

7 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 136 deletions(-)
 pom.xml                                         |    9 +--

• Section nagivation commands works properly (e.g. p, n',M-p,M-n`, etc.)
• RET will visit the file using magit-visit-item,
• e will invoke magit-ediff.
• M-g will move points to the diffstat headers.

There is minor problem (on restoring window-configuration); when the user press e at the diffstat line, the code will move the point to the actual diff section line, and will invoke magit-ediff. When the user quit ediff, the point is at the actual diff section line, not the diffstat line.
