Reapply "libfetchers: make attribute / URL query handling consistent"

The original attempt at this introduced a regression; this commit
reverts the revert and fixes the regression.

This reverts commit 3e151d4d77.

Fix to the regression:

flakeref: fix handling of `?dir=` param for flakes in subdirs

As reported in #419[1], accessing a flake in a subdir of a Git
repository fails with the previous commit[2] applied with the error

    error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'

The problem is that the `dir`-param is inserted into the parsed URL if a
flake is fetched from the subdir of a Git repository. However, for the
fetching part this isn't even needed. The fix is to just pass `subdir`
as second argument to `FlakeRef` (which needs a `basedir` that can be
empty) and leave the parsedURL as-is.

Added a regression test to make sure we don't run into this again.
