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.

An earlier commit d089ebaa (setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths) made
get_pathspec() aware of absolute paths, but with a botched interface that
forced the callers to count the resulting pathspecs in order to detect
an error of giving a path that is outside the work tree.
This fixes it, by dying inside the function.
We had ls-tree test that relied on a misfeature in the original
implementation of its pathspec handling. Leading slashes were silently
removed from them. However we allow giving absolute pathnames (people
want to cut and paste from elsewhere) that are inside work tree these
days, so a pathspec that begin with slash _should_ be treated as a full
path. The test is adjusted to match the updated rule for get_pathspec().
Earlier I mistook three tests given by Robin that they should succeed, but
these are attempts to add path outside work tree, which should fail
loudly. These tests also have been fixed.

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)
The diff for this commit is a good illustration of what changed
in ls-tree behaviour.
- With -r, tree nodes themselves are not shown anymore, but
blobs in subtrees are shown.
- The order of paths parameters do not matter, since they are
not like arguments to /bin/ls, but are filter patterns.
- When filter patterns overlap, unintuitive things happen.

This patch fixes a bug in git-ls-tree in which the wrong filenames are
listed if the exact same file and directory contents are present in
another location in the tree.
Added a new series of test cases for directory and filename handling.
