Replace isspecial() by the new macro is_glob_special(), which is more,
well, specialized. The former included the NUL char in its character
class, while the letter only included characters that are special to
file name globbing.
The new name contains underscores because they enhance readability
considerably now that it's made up of three words. Renaming the
function is necessary to document its changed scope.
The call sites of isspecial() are updated to check explicitly for NUL.

Manipulating the character class table in ctype.c by hand is error prone.
To ensure that typos are found quickly, add a test program and script.
test-ctype checks the output of the character class macros isspace() et.
al. by applying them on all possible char values and consulting a list of
all characters in the particular class. It doesn't check tolower() and
toupper(); this could be added later.
The test script t0070-fundamental.sh is created because there is no good
place for the ctype test, yet -- except for t0000-basic.sh perhaps, but
it doesn't run well on Windows, yet.
