remote-mediawiki: use "sh" to eliminate unquoted commands
Remove the use of run_git_unquoted() completely with a use of "sh -c"
suggested by Jeff King, i.e.:
sh -c '"$@" 2>/dev/null' -- echo sneaky 'argument;id'
I don't think this is needed now for any potential RCE issue. The
$remotename argument is ultimately picked by the local user (and
similarly, the $local variable comes from a user-supplied
refspec).
But completely eliminating the use of unquoted shell arguments has a
value in and of itself, by making the code easier to review. As noted
in an earlier commit I think the use of IPC::Open3 would be too
verbose here, but this "sh -c" trick strikes the right balance between
readability and semantic sanity.
