Avoid attacks on sitecustomize by using NUL delimiters to wrap filenames.
Previously the generated code used regular '' strings, which meant that a crafted pathname containing ' characters could be used to inject code. Until the previous commit, this was only a problem if building in or Configuring to install to such a directory. Which, hopefully, would be "obviously wrong" to anyone capable of building Perl from source. However, fixing the bug that prevented sitecustomize being subject to relocatable include now means that for a relocatable pearl, an end-user controlled path can now reach the sitecusomize code.
