[PATCH] Make XDF_NEED_MINIMAL default in blame.

Currently git blame has a big problem finding copies and moves when you
split up a big file into smaller ones. One example in the git repository
is 2cf565c, which split the documentation into smaller files.

In 582aa00 XDF_NEED_MINIMAL was removed as the default for performance
reasons, mainly for diff and rebase, but blame was also changed.

In 059a500 the problem with blame was noticed and the flag --minimal was
introduced. However this flag is not documented and it is not possible
to set when using "git gui blame".

Setting XDF_NEED_MINIMAL as default has a small performance impact when
you run on a file with few modifications. However, if you run it on a
file with a bigger number of modifications, the performance impact is
small enough to not be noticable.

Additional measurements attached, the variation is fairly small.

The --minimal flag is still there, but didn't want to break scripts
depending on it.
