Handle files starting with colons in WalkGitLog (#22935)

Currently gitea shows no commit information for files starting with a
colon.

[I set up a minimal repro repository that reproduces this error once
it's migrated on gitea](https://github.com/kbolashev/colon-test)

This is happening because the filenames piped to the `git log` command
are written as is, and it doesn't work when you have a colon at the
start of the filename, and you need to escape it.


You can test it locally,  if you do
```
mkdir repo
git init
touch :file 
git add . && git commit -m "Add file with colon"
git log -- :file 
```
git log returns nothing. However, if you do `git log -- "\:file"`, it
will show the commit with the file change.

This PR escapes the starting colons in paths in the `LogNameStatusRepo`
function, making gitea return commit info about the file with the bad
filename.

This error shows up only with files starting with colon, anywhere else
in filename is ok. Dashes at the beginning also seem to be working.
I don't know gitea internals well enough to know where else this error
can pop up, so I'm keeping this PR small as suggested by your
contributor guide
