[PATCH 4/4] Revert part of d089eba (setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths in get_pathspec())

When get_pathspec() was originally made absolute-path capable, we botched the interface to it, without dying inside the function when given a path that is outside the work tree, and made it the responsibility of callers to check the condition in a roundabout way. This is made unnecessary with the previous patch.
