Handle whitespace in paths #385
Description
I don't know if this is an AutoDoc issue or a GAPDoc issue, but I'm doing the following:
$ cd ~
$ mkdir "my pkg"
$ cd "my pkg"
$ git clone git@github.com:mtorpey/uuid.git
$ cd uuid/
$ gap makedoc.g and I get the following failure:

The critical part above is sh: 1: cd: can't cd to /home/mtorpey/my which doesn't recognise my pkg as all one string.
I don't know where this sh call is happening or whether it's an easy fix, but I figure it's something to handle if we can, while gap-packages/PackageManager#158 is fixing something similar for PackageManager.
