Use quoted tagnames in config dumps
Tagnames in configuration can include spaces (and other nasties) e.g. in repository-specific configuration options due to Origin/Label potentially containing a space. The configuration file format supports parsing quoted as well as encoded spaces, but the output generated by apt-config and other places which might be feedback into apt via parsing (e.g. before calling apt-key in our gpgv method) do not quote and hence produce invalid configuration files. Changing the default to be an encoded tagname ensures that the output of dump can be used as a config file, but other users might not expect this so that is technically a backward-breaking change.
