[PATCH v2 12/46] parse_pathspec: support prefixing original patterns

This makes 'original' suitable for passing to an external command because all pathspec magic is left in place, provided that the external command understands pathspec. The prefixing is needed because we usually launch a subcommand at worktree's top directory and the subcommand can no longer calculate the prefix itself.

This slightly affects the original purpose of 'original' (i.e. reporting). We should report without prefixing. So only turn this flag on when you know you are about to pass the result straight away to an external command.
