Reviewers

We were checking for the existence of each file in a diff for existing
commits in a repository, which is unnecessary. We can trust that those
files exist, since if they didn't, the repository is corrupt and things
will fail anyway.

DiffSet.objects.create_from_data() now accepts a check_existence
parameter, which controls whether to perform file existence checks.
By default this is True, but it's set to False when updating a draft
from a commit.

This speeds things up considerably when posting existing commits for
review.

Tested posting commits for review. Saw that they were posted quickly,
compared to before.

Unit tests pass.
