[PATCH 29/35] pathspec: move long magic parsing out of prefix_pathspec

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

`prefix_pathspec` is quite a lengthy function and we plan on adding more.
Split it up for better readability. As we want to add code into the
inner loop of the long magic parsing, we also benefit from lower
indentation.
