Add a -z option to be used in conjunction with --porcelain that gives
NUL-terminated output. This enables 'worktree list --porcelain' to
handle worktree paths that contain newlines.

    the worktree path see

Or, perhaps:

    Terminate each line with NUL rather than a newline when
    `--porcelain` is specified with `list`. This makes it possible...

might be simpler(?).

Good, this is easier to read than the previous version which manually
called `fputc(line_terminator, stdout)` repeatedly for the
termination. The diff is also more easily digested.

Junio's suggestion downstream that write_name_quoted() would be
simpler makes sense, but (as he says) is not necessarily worth a
reroll.

Same comment as previous review [1]:

    "fields" sounds a little odd. "lines" might make more sense.
    "records" might be even better and matches the wording of some
    other Git commands accepting `-z`.

Same comment as my previous review[1]:

    Other error messages in this file don't quote command-line
    options, so `die(_("-z requires --porcelain"));` would be more
    consistent.

However, considering all the recent work Jean-Noël Avila has been
doing to recently, perhaps this should instead mirror his change to
the die() message just above the new one and instead be:

    die(_("'%s' requires '%s'"), "-z", "--porcelain");

    I don't think there's any need for this test to create (and
    cleanup) a worktree. So, the entire test could collapse to:

        test_must_fail git worktree list -z
