Allow embedded spaces in tokens by preceding with a backslash

This patch allows embedded spaces in config tokens by preceding the space with
a backslash, eg

AllowUsers John\ Smith

This is not specific to Cygwin, but other OSes don't tend to have spaces in
either usernames or file paths so it's not usually a problem elsewhere.

Not true, Mac OS X routinely has spaces appearing in file paths, e.g., bug 579.

OK, make that "most sane OSes don't tend to..." :-)

I've been thinking about it and I think allowing quotes instead would be
more
logical for people, eg: AllowUsers "John Smith" .

When I get a chance I'll change the patch to do this.
