[PATCHv4] gitweb: parse parent..current syntax from pathinfo

From
Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>

This makes it possible to use an URL such as $project/somebranch..otherbranch:/filename to get a diff between different version of a file. Paths like $project/$action/somebranch:/somefile..otherbranch:/otherfile are parsed as well.
