[PATCH v7 1/2] blame: prevent error if range ends past end of file

[istephens@atlassian.com]

From: Isabella Stephens <istephens@atlassian.com>

If the -L option is used to specify a line range in git blame, and the
end of the range is past the end of the file, git will fail with a fatal
error. This commit prevents such behavior - instead we display the blame
for existing lines within the specified range. Tests are amended
accordingly.

This commit also fixes two corner cases. Blaming -L n,-(n+1) now blames
the first n lines of a file rather than from n to the end of the file.
Blaming -L ,-n will be treated as -L 1,-n and blame the first line of
the file, rather than blaming the whole file.
