blame: accept multiple -L ranges

git-blame accepts only a single -L option or none. Clients requiring
blame information for multiple disjoint ranges are therefore forced
either to invoke git-blame multiple times, once for each range, or only
once with no -L option to cover the entire file, both of which can be
costly.  Teach git-blame to accept multiple -L ranges.  Overlapping and
out-of-order ranges are accepted.

In this patch, the X in -LX,Y is absolute (for instance, /RE/ patterns
search from line 1), and Y is relative to X. Follow-up patches provide
more flexibility over how X is anchored.
