[PATCH v2 07/46] parse_pathspec: add PATHSPEC_PREFER_{CWD,FULL}

We have two ways of dealing with empty pathspec:
1. limit it to current prefix
2. match the entire working directory

Some commands go with #1, some #2. get_pathspec() and parse_pathspec() only support #1. Make parse_pathspec() reject empty pathspec by default. #1 and #2 can be specified via new flags. This makes it more expressive about default behavior at command level.
