blame: enable funcname blaming with userdiff driver
In blame.c::cmd_blame, we send the 'path' field of the 'sb' 'struct blame_scoreboard' as the 'path' argument to 'line-range.c::parse_range_arg', but 'sb.path' is not set yet; it's set to the local variable 'path' a few lines later at line 1137. This 'path' argument is only used in 'parse_range_arg' if we are blaming a funcname, i.e. `git blame -L :<funcname> <path>`, and in that case it is sent to 'parse_range_funcname', where it is used to determine if a userdiff driver should be used for said <path> to match the given funcname. Since 'path' is yet unset, the userdiff driver is never used, so we fall back to the default funcname regex, which is usually not appropriate for paths that are set to use a specific userdiff driver, and thus either we match some unrelated lines, or we die with fatal: -L parameter '<funcname>' starting at line 1: no match This has been the case ever since `git blame` learned to blame a funcname in 13b8f68c1f (log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcname, 2013-03-28). Enable funcname blaming for paths using specific userdiff drivers by initializing 'sb.path' earlier in 'cmd_blame', when some of its other fields are initialized, so that it is set when passed to 'parse_range_arg'. Add a regression test in 'annotate-tests.sh', which is sourced in t8001-annotate.sh and t8002-blame.sh, leveraging an existing file used to test the userdiff patterns in t4018-diff-funcname. Also, use 'sb.path' instead of 'path' when constructing the error message at line 1114, for consistency.
