It seems `backlink(.)` doesn't work, that is, it doesn't match pages linked
to from the current page.

If I have two test pages, `foo`, which links to `bar`, then (on the `foo`
page):

 * backlink(foo) lists 'bar'
 * backlink(.) lists nothing

tested with 3.20120109.

    Subject: [PATCH] backlink(.) should behave like backlink(<current page>)
    
    Since commit c4d4cad3befbbd444d094cbeb0b6ebba3910a025, the single dot in
    a pagespec can be used to mean the current page. While this worked
    correctly in link() it didn't work in backlink(). Fix this by explicitly
    checking the testpage in backlink against . and replacing it with the
    current location if necessary.
