It seems sensible to pass the start and end revision numbers of the
requested blame range to this callback.

Note that the caller can request a blame where the "end" revision is the
"WORKING" pseudo-revision, so be careful not to confuse the reader when
documenting this new "end revision number" parameter which is a revision
number as determined from the repository and which will not include the
"WORKING" pseudo-revision. (Maybe we should also pass a parameter that
provides this information: "svn_boolean_t
range_includes_working_version"?)
