[PATCH v3 06/31] Guard against new pathspec magic in pathspec matching code

GUARD_PATHSPEC() marks pathspec-sensitive code (basically anything in 'struct pathspec' except fields "nr" and "original"). GUARD_PATHSPEC() is not supposed to fail. The steps for a new pathspec magic or optimization would be:

 - update parse_pathspec, add extra information to struct pathspec
 - grep GUARD_PATHSPEC() and update all relevant code (or note those
   that won't work with your new stuff). Update GUARD_PATHSPEC mask
   accordingly.
 - update parse_pathspec calls to allow new magic. Make sure
   parse_pathspec() catches unsupported syntax early, not until
   GUARD_PATHSPEC catches it.
 - add tests to verify supported/unsupported commands both work as
   expected.
