magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec support
Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when you are in the subdirectory. For example, you should be able to say: $ edit Makefile ;# top-level $ cd Documentation $ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory: $ git add -u . ;# add only Documentation/git.txt $ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation $ git add -u ;# whatever the default setting is. To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call. Currently, the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling. They should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item. This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the system without such a refactoring. The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top". The parser for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch, and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API. But we have to start from somewhere.
