[PATCH v2 16/16] line-range: reject -L line numbers less than 1

From

Since inception, git-blame -L has been documented as accepting 1-based line numbers. When handed a line number less than 1, -L's behavior is undocumented and undefined; it's also nonsensical and should be diagnosed as an error. Do so.
