handle_revision_arg: record modes for "a..b" endpoints

The "a..b" revision syntax was designed to handle commits, so it doesn't bother to record any mode we find while traversing a "tree:path" endpoint. These days "git diff" can diff blobs using either "a:path..b:path" (with dots) or "a:path b:path" (without), but the two behave inconsistently, as the with-dots version fails to notice the mode. Let's teach the dot-dot range parser to record modes; it doesn't cost us anything, and it makes this case work.
