[PATCH 1/2 v2] sha1_name: don't trigger detailed diagnosis for file arguments

diagnose_invalid_sha1_path is normally meant to be called to diagnose <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in <treeish>. However, the current code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for another reason. This happens when calling e.g.

  git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file

(because existing-file is a file and not a revision, the next arguments are assumed to be files too), leading to incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD".

Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before triggering the diagnosis.
