This still has the back compatibility problems I mentioned
previously and has introduced a further one by reducing
quoting. I'm not in favour of knowingly introducing back
compatibility problems when it doesn't solve functional
problems on the libvirt side.

If we want to support whitespace in the socket path, it
is possible todo that in a back compatible manner, by only
changing our quoting of the socket path when we know it has
whitespace, and not touching anything else.

Regards,
Daniel
