Fix GetFilesChangedBetween if the file name may be escaped (go-gitea#23272)

The code for GetFilesChangedBetween uses `git diff --name-only
base..head` to get the names of files changed between base and head
however this forgets that git will escape certain values.

This PR simply switches to use `-z` which has the `NUL` character as the
separator.
