Add higher level pathspec API

Right now, setting up a pathspec to be parsed and processed
requires several data structures and a couple of API calls.  This
adds a new high level data structure that contains all the items
that you'll need and high-level APIs that do all of the setup and
all of the teardown.  This will make it easier to use pathspecs
in various places with less repeated code.
