[PATCH v8 14/19] ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>'

From

In-Reply-To
<20161207153627.1468-1-Karthik.188@gmail.com>

Currently the 'lstrip=<N>' option only takes a positive value '<N>' and strips '<N>' slash-separated path components from the left. Modify the 'lstrip' option to also take a negative number '<N>' which would only _leave_ behind 'N' slash-separated path components from the left.

Add documentation and tests for the same.
