[PATCH] Fix calling parse_pathspec with no paths nor PATHSPEC_PREFER_* flags

When parse_pathspec() is called with no paths, the behavior could be either return no paths, or return one path that is cwd. Some commands do the former, some the latter. parse_pathspec() itself does not make either the default and requires the caller to specify either flag if it may run into this situation.

I've grep'd through all parse_pathspec() call sites. Some pass neither, but those are guaranteed never pass empty path to parse_pathspec(). There are two call sites that may pass empty path and are fixed with this patch.
