diff: factor out --follow pathspec check

In --follow mode, we require exactly one pathspec. We check this
condition in two places:

  - in diff_setup_done(), we complain if --follow is used with an
    inapropriate pathspec

  - in git-log's revision "tweak" function, we enable log.follow only if
    the pathspec allows it

The duplication isn't a big deal right now, since the logic is so
simple. But in preparation for it becoming more complex, let's pull it
into a shared function.
