get_sha1: support relative path ":path" syntax
Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object
in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This
patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is
relative to user's original cwd.
This does not work in commands for which startup_info is NULL
(i.e. non-builtin ones, it seems none of them needs this anyway).
