Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
* tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently
needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
