git-config fileEncoding

Accept arbitrarily encoded repository filepaths etc when reading git config
output. This fixes support for remotes with unusual characters in their
names.

For example, a remote with a url of /tmp/çüş was previously
skipped, because the filename wasn't encoded right so it didn't think it
was available. And when setting the annex-uuid of a remote named "çüş",
it used to add it under a mis-encoded form of the remote's name. Both these
cases now work ok in my testing.
