Speeds up two slow git paths. Results match `main` apart
from the `log.follow` fix.
- Activity top authors skip `--numstat` and an unused `rev-list
--count`, they only need names and emails
- Subdirectory listings pass only the directory as pathspec, which
already matches all its entries
- Directory listings pass `--no-follow` to `git log`, a configured
`log.follow` disabled parent rewriting and gave wrong last commits

Tested with unit and sqlite integration tests in default and `gogit`
builds on git 2.25 and 2.56, and by comparing listing results and cache
writes with `main` on randomized histories and the gitea, tea and git
repos. Benchmarks are medians of 8 interleaved macOS runs.
