pooch.make_registry does not handle spaces in filenames correctly

[mscheltienne]

I'm running v1.7.0, and it seems like this is not fully resolved. Filename: "LICENSE (copy)", with a space.

Run: pooch.make_registry(DATASET, output=REGISTRY, recursive=True) with DATASET the path to the folder containing LICENSE (copy) and more. It results in this registry:

LICENSE 1f7e3edb3fc584df7f618e17cef4befa18232b99302dd8d55e519ab3d9e028b4

And now fetcher.load_registry(REGISTRY) with fetcher being an instance of Pooch yields:

fetcher.load_registry(REGISTRY)
fetcher.registry

Which is wrong.

Thanks for reporting @mscheltienne! We completely forgot to update the registry writing logic after updating the reading code. Sorry about that.

The fix should be relatively simple: Use shlex.quote on the file name we write out to the file. We'd need to add a test for this case that fails currently to prevent this issue from coming back in the future.
