last-modified: change default max-depth to 0

By default git-last-modified(1) doesn't recurse into subtrees. So when
the pathspec contained a path in a subtree, the command would only print
the commit information about the parent tree of the path, like:

    $ git last-modified -- path/file
    aaa0aab1bbb2bcc3ccc4ddd5dde6eee7eff8fff9	path

Change the default behavior to give commit information about the exact
path instead:

    $ git last-modified -- path/file
    aaa0aab1bbb2bcc3ccc4ddd5dde6eee7eff8fff9	path/file

To achieve this, the default max-depth is changed to 0 and recursive is
always enabled.

The handling of option '-r' is modified to disable a max-depth,
resulting in the behavior of this option to remain unchanged.

No existing tests were modified, because there didn't exist any tests
covering the example above. But more tests are added to cover this now.

@ -25,13 +25,14 @@ OPTIONS
`-r`::
`--recursive`::
Instead of showing tree entries, step into subtrees and show all entries
inside them recursively.
Recursively traverse into all subtrees. By default, the command only
shows tree entries matching the `<pathspec>`. With this option, it
descends into subtrees and displays all entries within them.
Equivalent to `--max-depth=-1`.
`-t`::
`--show-trees`::
Show tree entries even when recursing into them. It has no effect
without `--recursive`.
Show tree entries even when recursing into them.
`--max-depth=<depth>`::
For each pathspec given on the command line, traverse at most `<depth>`
