NUL cannot appear in paths. Even disregarding filesystem path
limitations, the tree object format delimits with NUL, so such a path
cannot be encoded by Git.
When a quoted path is unquoted, it could possibly contain NUL from
"\000". Forbid it so it isn't truncated.
fast-import still has other issues with NUL, but those will be addressed
later.

It is recommended that `<path>` always be encoded using UTF-8.
