This enables support for mount points that include spaces. /etc/fstab normally supports encoding special characters in filenames using octal constants (like "\040` for a space), but that doesn't work on Alpine.

This is a cherry-pick of rancher-sandbox#15 that should have been made to the upstream repo first.

Discovered in lima-vm/lima#2235 (comment).

Relevant to lima-vm/lima#2234

What should we do with /etc/fstab in an existing data disk?

Just leave it as is?

It either works for the user because they don't have mount points with spaces in them (most likely), or it never did, in which case they would have to create a new instance to get this new functionality.

I can make a release, but I thought you wanted me to update the awk script so it doesn't require the empty line?

Thanks, yes, updating awk is nice, but not a hard blocker.
