I think I have implemented most suggestions in PatchV2. Thanks!

Let's think that this merely reinforces the first point :)

I didn't want to run into a situation where '-z' suddenly applies to
multiple things (for example, if later it's decided to allow --patch
with --pathspec-from-file).
Regarding UI, I think that (insert our UI name here) will not use
'--pathspec-from-file' unless there are really many files. When it does
happen, user will probably have an easier time understanding
'--pathspec-file-nul' then '-z'.

I changed that. However, `git grep pathspecs` is quite interesting. My
own taste says that "pathspecs" is more expected then "pathspec".

Yes, NUL delimiter allows to avoid escaping.

Tests overwhelmingly prefer escaped form (\EOF) instead, so I used that.

Kind of intended. I changed tests to always use trailing delimiters, and
also added a new dedicated test without trailing delimiter.
