[PATCH v3 3/5] [GSOC] ref-filter: --format=%(raw) re-support --perl

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Because the perl language can handle binary data correctly,
add the function perl_quote_buf_with_len(), which can specify
the length of the data and prevent the data from being truncated
at '\0' to help `--format="%(raw)"` re-support `--perl`.
