terrasync.py: add option --only-subdir

Option --only-subdir allows one to restrict terrasync.py processing[1]
to a chosen subdirectory of the TerraSync repository. Example:

  terrasync.py --target=/your/TerraSync/repo --only-subdir="Airports/L/F/P"

[1] This works in both 'check' and 'sync' modes.
