subrepo: extend path auditing test to include more weird patterns (SEC) While reviewing patches for the issue 5739, "$foo in repository path expanded", I realized that subrepo paths can also be cheated. This patch includes various subrepo paths which are potentially unsafe. Since an expanded subrepo path isn't audited, this bug allows symlink check bypass. As a result, a malicious subrepository could be checked out to a sub tree of e.g. $HOME directory. The good news is that the destination directory must be empty or nonexistent, so the existing ~/.bashrc wouldn't be overwritten. See the last part of the tests for details.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
