Many "git submodule" operations do not work on a submodule at a path whose
name is not in ASCII.

This is because "git ls-files" is used to find which paths are bound to
submodules to the current working tree, and the output is C-quoted by default
for non ASCII pathnames and pathnames that has a double-quote, a
backslash or a control character like a newline or a tab in thme.

Tell "git ls-files" to not C-quote its output, which is easier than unwrapping
C-quote ourselves.

This patch still does not allow pathnames with characters that do need C-quote,
but the code didn't handle them before, so it is not making things worse. The
correct approach to solve the problem for all pathnames may be to use
"ls-files -z" and tell the Perl script that reads its output to read NUL
separated records by using $/ = "\0".
