[NonGNU ELPA] New package: eldoc-diffstat

[Johann Klähn]

I would like to submit a new package to NonGNU ELPA: eldoc-diffstat.

  https://github.com/kljohann/eldoc-diffstat/

It provides a way to display VCS diffstat information via eldoc.  I.e.,
if point rests on a commit in a magit, vc-annotate, or log-view buffer,
the Git or Mercurial diffstat summary will be shown in the echo area.
For example (though it uses ansi-colors and fontification, so you might
prefer to look at the screenshot in the repo):

It's adapted from Tassilo Horn's 2022 blog post “Using Eldoc with Magit
(asynchronously!)”: https://www.tsdh.org/posts/2022-07-20-using-eldoc-with-magit-async.html

Thanks

I'm using it since a couple of days using package-vc and like it very
much, so I took the liberty to add it to NonGNU ELPA.

I think you could add a bit more configuration hints to the README.md,
e.g., where you say that one should call eldoc-diffstat-setup in the
desired buffer or mode hook, provide some typical examples like:

  (add-hook 'log-view-mode-hook #'eldoc-diffstat-setup)
  (add-hook 'vc-annotate-mode-hook #'eldoc-diffstat-setup)
  (add-hook 'magit-status-mode-hook #'eldoc-diffstat-setup)
  (add-hook 'magit-log-mode-hook #'eldoc-diffstat-setup)

Thanks for the package!
