pull: drop confusing prefix parameter of die_on_unclean_work_tree()

In cmd_pull(), when verifying that there are no changes preventing a
rebasing pull, we diligently pass the prefix parameter to the
die_on_unclean_work_tree() function which in turn diligently passes it
to the has_unstaged_changes() and has_uncommitted_changes() functions.

The casual reader might now be curious (as this developer was) whether
that means that calling `git pull --rebase` in a subdirectory will
ignore unstaged changes in other parts of the working directory. And be
puzzled that `git pull --rebase` (correctly) complains about those
changes outside of the current directory.

The puzzle is easily resolved: while we take pains to pass around the
prefix and even pass it to init_revisions(), the fact that no paths are
passed to init_revisions() ensures that the prefix is simply ignored.

That, combined with the fact that we will *always* want a *full* working
directory check before running a rebasing pull, is reason enough to
simply do away with the actual prefix parameter and to pass NULL
instead, as if we were running this from the top-level working directory
anyway.
