Description
Fixes #19636
"Filter on joined fields" (with both QGIS 2.18 ltr and 3.3.0 master) does not work properly in the following two circumstances:
when the (original) layer is a "spatial layer": the virtual layer created is an attribute only / non-spatial layer, instead of a spatial one
when at least a field name or a layer name starts with a digit or contains white spaces (or probably also other special characters): the virtual layer is not created at all (actually is created and instantly deleted) without warning the user
This fixes both and also updates the related tests accordingly and adds another test.
