log: allow patterns with -f

log: allow patterns with -f

It's not uncommon for a user to want to run log with a pattern or directory name
on the history of their current commit.  Currently we prevent that, but
I can't think of any reason to continue blocking that.

This commit removes the restriction and allows 'hg log -f <dir/pat>'
