[PATCH v5 1/8] t5520: prevent field splitting in content comparisons

From
Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com>

Many tests in t5520 used the following to test the contents of files:
	test `cat file` = expected
or
	test $(cat file) = expected

These 2 forms, however, will be affected by field splitting and, depending on the value of $IFS, may be split into multiple arguments, making the test fail in mysterious ways.

Replace the above 2 forms with:
	test "$(cat file)" = expected
as quoting the command substitution will prevent field splitting.
