As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

Dealing with NULs is not always safe with tr. On Solaris,
incoming NULs are silently deleted by both the System V and
UCB versions of tr. When converting to NULs, the System V
version works fine, but the UCB version silently ignores the
request to convert the character.
This patch changes all instances of tr using NULs to use
"perl -pe 'y///'" instead.

Some versions of 'tr' only accept octal codes if entered with three digits,
and therefor misinterpret the '\0' in the test suite.
Some versions of 'tr' reject the (needless) use of character classes.

Now that "git diff" handles stdin and relative paths outside the
working tree correctly, we can convert all instances of "diff -u"
to "git diff".
This commit is really the result of
$ perl -pi.bak -e 's/diff -u/git diff/' $(git grep -l "diff -u" t/)

(cherry picked from commit c699a40d68215c7e44a5b26117a35c8a56fbd387)
echo isn't remotely standardized for handling backslashes,
so cat + heredoc seems better

On FAT/NTFS, filenames cannot contain tabs. So t3300-funny-names would
reliably fail already when trying to create such files.
