Description:
Refactor Git repo scanning to use workers for asynchronous processing of binary diffs.
binaryDiffChan
to distribute workHigh level design:

This refactors the scanning logic to utilize concurrency and avoid blocking on large binaries. Multiple goroutines can now process diffs asynchronously through the buffered channel.
The context cancellation allows all workers to exit cleanly if an error happens. And synchronization points ensure proper shutdown.
This should help increase overall scanning throughput, while maintaining existing control flow around error handling.
