Filenames with unusual characters break check_executables_have_shebangs
The `check_executables_have_shebangs` gets file paths with the output of the following git command:

```
git ls-files --stage -- path1 path2
```

I'm not sure about Linux, but on Windows, when the filename contains an unusual character (sorry about the choice of "unusual" to describe the character, I don't want to speculate on encoding issues), the character is escaped with integer sequences, and git wraps the file path in double-quotes (because of the backslashes I guess):

```console
$ git ls-files --stage -- tests/demo/doc/mañana.txt tests/demo/doc/manana.txt
100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0       tests/demo/doc/manana.txt
100644 5ab9dcdd36df0f76f202227ecb7ae8a5baaa456b 0       "tests/demo/doc/ma\303\261ana.txt"
```

The resulting path variable becomes `"tests/demo/doc/ma\303\261ana.txt"`, and then the script tries to `open` it, which fails of course because of the quotes and escaping:

```

    with open(path, 'rb') as f:
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '"tests/demo/doc/ma\\303\\261ana.txt"'
```

To fix the quotes issue, the pre-commit script could try to remove them with a `.strip('"')` call.

For the character escaping, I have no idea! Do you 😄 ?
