Startup script fails to handle & character in password (and possibly other fields)

Configuring a container with a password that contains the & character fails.

If my password was foobarpass&word, then the config.ini.php contained:

password = foobarpassPIWIK_MYSQL_PASSWORDword

well yeah thats actually a bug - you'll have trouble with many unescaped special chars the bash tries to interpret - you could try to escape those chars with **

this bug exists because I'm using a Environment Variable which I process with sed

sed -i "s/PIWIK_MYSQL_PASSWORD/$PIWIK_MYSQL_PASSWORD/g" /piwik/config/config.ini.php

If somebody got a better/safer Idea to replace this, it would be possible to support special characters in the password.

Meanwhile be careful with the special chars in passwords
