 Tramp explicte-shell-file-name not work and not safe local variable
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2019 14:17:25 +0800

Hi,

The recent change to Tramp for shell/explict shell has break the remote shell again. For example:
- Tramp to a host
- in a remote diretory, M-x shell
  it raise the error message: env path/to/cmdproxy.exe can't be found 
  which looks tramp shell invoke the local shell, instead the remote shell
  
I have the settings:
```
  (connection-local-set-profile-variables
   'remote-bash
   '((explicit-shell-file-name . "/bin/bash")
     (explicit-bash-args . ("-i"))
     ))

  (connection-local-set-profiles
   '(:application tramp :protocol "plink" :user "user" :machine "host.com")
   'remote-bash)
```
In the previous version of tramp (about Feb), it will invoke the explicit-shell-file-name, instead of local cmdproxy.

Another issue, the emacs treat explicit-shell-file-name and explicit-bash-args as non-safe local variables and ask how to deal it (Y/N/! ...).
In the previous version of tramp (about Feb), it takes these two variables as safe which I think is reasonable because user sets it in tramp-way explicitely and it is only used in tramp only.
