[PATCHv5 4/5] gitweb: parse parent..current syntax from PATH_INFO

This patch 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.

All '*diff' actions and in general actions that use $hash_parent[_base] and $file_parent can now get all of their parameters from PATH_INFO
