New modes for cygpath that terminate path with null byte, nothing


I wrote this patch because I often write this:

$ cygpath -aw foo > /dev/clipboard

Today, cygpath always appends a newline to the information in the
clipboard, which is annoying when trying to paste into a program that
interprets newlines specially. This patch implements two new options:
-0/--null and -n/--no-newline. The former separates all paths output by
cygpath with a null byte; the latter separates them with nothing at all.
With -n, my example above works more smoothly and pastes don't include a
newline.
