remote-hg: unquote C-style paths when exporting

git-fast-import documentation says that paths can be C-style quoted.
Unfortunately, the current remote-hg helper doesn't unquote quoted
path and pass them as-is to Mercurial when the commit is created.

This results in the following situation:

 - clone a mercurial repository with git
 - add a file with space in a directory: `>dir/foo\ bar`
 - commit that new file, and push the change to mercurial
 - the mercurial repository now has a new directory named '"dir',
   which contains a file named 'foo bar"'

Use Python str.decode('string-escape') to unquote the string if it
starts and ends with ".  It has been tested with quotes, spaces, and
utf-8 encoded file-names.
