Refactor parse_loc

We want to use the same style of -L n,m argument for 'git log -L' as
for git-blame.  Refactor the argument parsing of the range arguments
from builtin/blame.c to the (new) file that will hold the 'git log -L'
logic.

To accommodate different data structures in blame and log -L, the file
contents are abstracted away; parse_range_arg takes a callback that it
uses to get the contents of a line of the (notional) file.

The new test is for a case that made me pause during debugging: the
'blame -L with invalid end' test was the only one that noticed an
outright failure to parse the end *at all*.  So make a more explicit
test for that.
