 - t4030, t4031: work around bogus MSYS bash path conversion
 - t0021: use $SHELL_PATH for the filter script
 - diff: run external diff helper with shell
 - textconv: use shell to run helper
 - editor: use run_command's shell feature
 - run-command: optimize out useless shell calls
 - run-command: convert simple callsites to use_shell
 - run-command: add "use shell" option

Two notes about this:

1. My patch "t0021:..." contains an unrelated change to t4030 (it changes 
a /bin/sh to $SHELL_PATH) that is not necessary. I included it in my first 
version of the patch, but later noticed that we already have many similar 
uses of /bin/sh instead of $SHELL_PATH in test scriptlets and decided to 
remove the change, but I only changed the commit message and forgot to 
unstage t4030.

2. If you intend to merge the early part of the topic to master early and 
hold "diff:..." and "textconv:..." in next a bit longer (as proposed by 
Jeff), then you should move "t0021:..." after "run-command: optimize out 
useless shell calls".
