This addresses CVE-2025-46835, Git GUI can create and overwrite a
user's files:
When a user clones an untrusted repository and is tricked into editing
a file located in a maliciously named directory in the repository, then
Git GUI can create and overwrite files for which the user has write
permission.

git-gui: use git_read in githook_read
git-gui: break out a separate function git_read_nice
git-gui: remove option --stderr from git_read
git-gui: sanitize 'exec' arguments: background
git-gui: sanitize 'exec' arguments: simple cases
git-gui: treat file names beginning with "|" as relative paths
