pathspec doc: parse_pathspec does not maintain references to args
The command line arguments passed to main() are valid for the life of
a program, but the same is not true for all other argv-style arrays
(e.g. when a caller creates an argv_array). Clarify that
parse_pathspec does not rely on the argv passed to it to remain valid.
This makes it easier to tell that callers like "git rev-list --stdin"
are safe and ensures that that is more likely to remain true as the
implementation of parse_pathspec evolves.
