Title:
  Mountpoint containing a space not working

Status in cloud-init:
  Expired

Bug description:
  If I want to mount a directory containing a space (for example to
  match a remote share name), it will not work currently with the
  default cc_mounts plugin.

   - if I surround the mountpoint with quotes, it will create the destination 
directory properly, but then /etc/fstab won't contain the quotes and the spaces 
will cause parsing error in /etc/fstab
   - If I use the common workaround of replacing spaces with \040, then the 
directory will contain a literal '\' and then '040', and the mountpoint won't 
be found because mount interprets the escape sequence properly.

  My suggestion: when outputting to /etc/fstab, escape spaces (and any
  other character part of fstab grammar) properly. This way the cloud-
  init config will just work.
