When a commit is grepped and matching filenames are printed, grep-objects
creates the filename by prefixing the original cmdline argument to the
matched path separated by a colon.  Normally this forms a valid blob
reference to the filename, like this:

  git grep -l foo HEAD
  HEAD:some/path/to/foo.txt
      ^

But a tree path may be given to grep instead; in this case the colon is
not a valid delimiter to use since it is placed inside a path.

  git grep -l foo HEAD:some
  HEAD:some:path/to/foo.txt
           ^

The slash path delimiter should be used instead.  Fix git grep to
discern the correct delimiter so it can report valid object names.

  git grep -l foo HEAD:some
  HEAD:some/path/to/foo.txt
           ^

Also, prevent the delimiter being added twice, as happens now in these
examples:

  git grep -l foo HEAD:
  HEAD::some/path/to/foo.txt
       ^
  git grep -l foo HEAD:some/
  HEAD:some/:path/to/foo.txt
            ^

Add a test to confirm correct path forming.
---
This version is a bit more deterministic and also adds a test.

It accepts the expense of examining the path argument again to 
determine if it is a tree-ish + path rather than just a tree (commit).
The get_sha1 call occurs one extra time for each tree-ish argument,
so it's not expensive. We avoid mucking with the object_array API this
way, and also do not rely on the object-type to tell us anything about
the way the object name was spelled.

This one also adds a check to avoid duplicating an extant delimiter.
