grep: fix "--" rev/pathspec disambiguation

If we see "git grep pattern rev -- file" then we apply the
usual rev/pathspec disambiguation rules: any "rev" before
the "--" must be a revision, and we do not need to apply the
verify_non_filename() check.

But there are two bugs here:

  1. We keep a seen_dashdash flag to handle this case, but
     we set it in the same left-to-right pass over the
     arguments in which we parse "rev".

     So when we see "rev", we do not yet know that there is
     a "--", and we mistakenly complain if there is a
     matching file.

     We can fix this by making a preliminary pass over the
     arguments to find the "--", and only then checking the rev
     arguments.

  2. If we can't resolve "rev" but there isn't a dashdash,
     that's OK. We treat it like a path, and complain later
     if it doesn't exist.

     But if there _is_ a dashdash, then we know it must be a
     rev, and should treat it as such, complaining if it
     does not resolve. The current code instead ignores it
     and tries to treat it like a path.

This patch fixes both bugs, and tries to comment the parsing
flow a bit better.

It adds tests that cover the two bugs, but also some related
situations (which already worked, but this confirms that our
fixes did not break anything).
