ResolveMerger: Fix encoding with string; use bytes

This change fixes the issue [1]. Before this fix, a merge involving
the caching of consecutive yet similar filenames with Norwegian
characters [2] used to throw an IllegalStateException: Duplicate
stages not allowed. This was caused by inaccurate decoding of the
filenames, using string values assuming default encoding. In the
toString method of DirCacheEntry, used before through getPathString,
UTF-8 encoding is used, but the end result becomes default encoding,
through Object's default toString usage. The special characters in
those two consecutive (particular) filenames [2] were becoming the
very same decoded /single character, lending consecutive -but then
identical- filenames. Thus the perceived duplicate 0-staging of the
file(s).

Replace getPathString usage with getRawPath for this specific case,
or use byte array representations of cached entries instead of string.

Adding a test for this change is not possible, as there is no known
way to change the default encoding for filenames such as [2] (e.g.).
JGitTestUtil does write file contents through UTF-8, but encoding like
so does not apply to the actual file name. Hence there is no way to
create files with names properly made of special characters such as
[2]'s. And the test that is necessary for this case assumes such
Norwegian (or similar characters) filenames. Changing the default
locale programmatically in a test has no effect either. And changing
the LANG value passed to the JVM is only possible upon starting it.
