Callers that know the file won't contain NUL bytes don't use the
returned length, but if we ever want to parse a file that DOES contain
NUL, then it becomes important. Then again, such a file is that much
more annoying to store in git (it is treated as binary rather than
text), so our testsuite is better off if it avoids files with NUL.

And really, strlen() is wrong if you have embedded NUL bytes anyways, so
it's pretty certain we weren't relying on a correct length for a file
that contains NUL. So
