views: add automatically constructed file location metadata
When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the directory hierarchy in a view. For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form tag/showname. Performance impact: I benchmarked git annex view tag=* in the conference proceedings repo to take 6.459s before this change, and 6.544s after. FWIW, I considered making the syntax for this be podcasts/*, which might be easier for the user to learn. However, I think it's not as good: * The user has to then juggle two different syntaxes, and podcasts/* will be expanded by the shell so they also need to quote it, while podcasts/=* is unlikely to be expanded by the shell. * It would allow for things like podcasts/*/* and *.mp3 which do not map well into views. This commit was sponsored by Aurélien Pinceaux.
