Deal with git check-attr -z output format change in git 1.8.5.

I have not actually tested with 1.8.5, which is not yet relesaed, but
git.git commit f7cd8c50b9ab83e084e8f52653ecc8d90665eef2 changes -z
to also apply to output, without regards to back-compat. (But with pretty
good reasons.)

New code should work with both versions, by fingerprinting for NULs and
newlines.
