grep does not follow the conventions used by other Git commands when
printing paths that contain unusual characters (as double-quotes or
newlines). Commands such as ls-files, commit, status and diff will:

- Quote and escape unusual pathnames, by default.
- Print names verbatim and unquoted when "-z" is used.

But grep *never* quotes/escapes absolute paths with unusual chars and
*always* quotes/escapes relative ones, even with "-z". Besides being
inconsistent in its own output, the deviation from other Git commands
can be confusing. So let's make it follow the two rules above and add
some tests for this new behavior. Note that, making grep quote/escape
all unusual paths by default, also make it fully compliant with the
core.quotePath configuration, which is currently ignored for absolute
paths.

Changes in v2:
- Squashed in Dscho's patch fixing the tests' failures in Windows by
  adding the FUNNYNAMES prereq.
