make hashFile support paths with newlines

git hash-object --stdin-paths is a newline protocol so it cannot
support them. It would help to not use absPath, when the problem
is that the repository itself is in a path with a newline. But,
there's a reason it used absPath, which is that
git hash-object --stdin-paths actually chdirs to the top of the
repository on startup! That is not documented, and I think is a bug
in git.

I considered making the path relative to the top of the repo, but
then what if this is a git bug and gets fixed? git-annex would break
horribly.

So instead, keep the absPath, but when the path contains a newline,
fall back to running git hash-object once per file, which avoids
the problem with newlines and --stdin-paths. It will be slower,
but this is an edge case. (Similar slow code paths are already used
elsewhere when dealing with filenames with newlines and other parts
of git that use line-based protocols.)

+Unfortunately, `git hash-object --stdin-paths` does not support
+-z or anything like that. It is a newline based protocol.
+
+Ok, made git-annex fall back to running git hash-object once
+per file when the filenames contain newlines to work around that.
+
+BTW, another problem I noticed is that the repository decription
+written to uuid.log contains a newline, which prevents parsing that line of
+the log correctly. This can also be seen by passing a value
+with a newline to `git-annex describe`. It would also happen in the
+case with the newline directory if it didn't fail earlier.
+
+Another log file that has a similar problem BTW is config.log,
+which can get a newline in a value with eg
+`git annex config --set annex.largefiles "xxx\nyyy"`
+and the result is that reading the value back out omits
+the part after the newline.
+
+Also, a newline in a subdirectory inside the repository breaks
+adding files in that directory with `git-annex add`.git-
+
+Newlines in filenames seem to work ok though...
