Fix bug when review pull request commits (#35192)

The commit range in the UI follows a half-open, half-closed convention:
(,]. When reviewing a range of commits, the beforeCommitID should be set
to the commit immediately preceding the first selected commit. For
single-commit reviews, we must identify and use the previous commit of
that specific commit.

The endpoint ViewPullFilesStartingFromCommit is currently unused and can
be safely removed.

Fix #35157 
Replace #35184 
Partially extract from #35077
