pathspec: stop --*-pathspecs impact on internal parse_pathspec() uses
Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it
can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic
for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options.
There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but
the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.
Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.
This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are
export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1
git blame -- something
git log --follow something
git log --merge
"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.
