[PATCH v3 2/6] pathspec: add new function to parse file

["Alexandr Miloslavskiy via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in
`git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc.

Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support
Windows better.

To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows
to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`.

I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided
that it doesn't fit there.

The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and
`split_mail_conv()`.
