[Ovmsdev] Wifi with spaces in the SSID

It appears that you cannot set a configuration value with a name 
containing spaces. It almost works, but it doesn't seem to store them 
correctly:

OVMS > config set wifi.ssid "Wifi With Spaces" secretpassword
OVMS > config list wifi.ssid
wifi.ssid
   AndroidAP
   Wifi With Spaces
OVMS > wifi mode client "Wifi with spaces"
Error: SSID password must be defined in config wifi.ssid

So it thinks it has a configuration value for that network but it 
doesn't work. When you reboot the OVMS you find that the configuration 
item was stored with only the first word of the SSID:

OVMS > config list wifi.ssid
wifi.ssid
   AndroidAP
   Wifi
