Update :/abc ambiguity check

:/abc may mean two things:

- as a revision, it means the revision that has "abc" in commit
  message.

- as a pathpec, it means "abc" from root.

Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it
as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly
take ":/abc" as rev even it's ambiguous. This patch makes it:

- ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree
- a rev if abc does not exist on worktree
- a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use
  "--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is
  expensive)

A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a
rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory
always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.
