This iterates on the spec outlined by @coreyfarrel in #46. For each :: separated item: * If the item has no : then it is a commit-ish * If the item has : then split into name and value. * If the name is semver then do semver lookup of ref or tag * If the name is path then use the value as the subdir to install from. * If the name is unknown then warn that the name-value pair is being ignored. This loop errors if duplicate values are found. Unknown values log a warning instead of erroring.

This implements the `gitSubdir` parameter, which is already parsed by npa, finally allowing users of npm to specifiy subdirectories in git dependencies. The respective parsing logic has already been agreed on and implemented nearly 4 years ago here: npm/npm-package-arg#91. In this PR, the git fetcher is changed to resolve the `gitSubdir` parameter from the spec if found, as suggested by the author in the original npa PR. ## References Fixes npm/cli#528 Fixes npm/npm#2974 Relates to npm/npm-package-arg#46 Relates to npm/npm-package-arg#91 Inspired from and crediting sspiff@8bd5461, which seems to have been lost after merging the PR at npa.

This builds off of #46, and
more specifically the spec laid out by @coreyfarrell. Namely:
For each :: separated item:
This loop errors if duplicate values are found.
Unknown values log a warning instead of erroring.
This also introduces the concept of a
pathspecifier that is assignedto the
gitSubdirattribute. Consuming libs (e.g. pacote) will need tolook for that and react to its presence accordingly.
