Re: [PATCH/RFC] core.precomposeunicode is true by default

When core.precomposeunicode was introduced, it was set to false
by default, to be compatible with older versions of Git.

Whenever UTF-8 file names are used in a mixed environment,
the Mac OS users need to find out that this configuration exist
and set it to true manually.

There is no measurable performance impact between false and true.
A smoother workflow can be achieved for new Git users,
so change the default to true:

- Remove the auto-sensing
- Rename the internal variable into precompose_unicode,
  and set it to 1 meaning true.
- Adjust and clean up test cases

The configuration core.precomposeunicode is still supported.

Does this have any effects on non-utf8 users? I'm on utf-8, so this is
not really my concern, that is unless it changes something on LANG=C..
