[PR] Fix crashes, hangs and data loss on unexpected input [mynewt-newt]

   newt crashed or hung on easy-to-make mistakes in configuration files, repository definitions and command-line arguments. In some cases it damaged user data without any error. A user who hits one of these gets a Go stack trace or a newt that never finishes, instead of a message pointing at the problem, and the worst cases change the project in ways that are hard to notice and undo:
   
   - A wrong git origin.
   - Files overwritten.
   - A checkout switched to another repository's commit.
   
   Valid but less common setups were affected too:
   
   - Projects in paths that contain spaces.
   - Repositories and projects with the same name (mcuboot).
   - Parallel builds that lost entries in compile_commands.json.
   
   Each fix comes with a regression test that reproduces the original crash, hang or data loss, so these cases stay covered.
