Tracked paths with SP in them were cquoted in "git status --short"
output, but untracked, ignored, and unmerged paths weren't.

By the way, the long status output will quote paths as appropriate, but
_not_ apply this "we should quote spaces" rule. I'm not sure if that
came up in earlier discussion or not. Certainly we're free to do
whatever looks nicest to humans there, so maybe we prefer to avoid
quoting as much as possible.

Yup, the long output format is strictly for human consumption and
one fewer case to enclose the path in a dq-pair is good ;-).
