[Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@xxxxxxxxx>]

After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.

In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.

Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.

Also add tests to verify this behavior.

	As requested by Daniel, it is now possible to have the marks be
	relative to a constant directory. We might want to consider making
	this the default at some point.

	This patch opens the way for remote-helpers to use the marks feature
	without poluting the work tree, which I think is very important.
