A backslash is the way we escape characters in virsh. For
instance:
virsh # start domain\ with\ long\ name
For readline completion, we do not want to get four separate
words ("domain", "with", "long", "name"). This
means, that we
can't sue virBufferEscapeShell() because it doesn't escape spaces
the way we want.
