copies: separate added/removed files by newline instead of null

This makes it more consistent with how we encode copies
(newline-separated lists of null-separated pairs). This perhaps makes
{extras} a little less readable (?) despite avoiding the escaping. I
don't know how I feel about this patch. I'm okay with it being queued
or dropped.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
