Completion strings containing whitespaces have to end up as a single argv[] argument, thus the whitespaces have to be escaped. Fix this.
Ideally the whitespaces should only be escaped when we are outside of double or single quotes, but our completion currently doesn't trigger at all when invokes inside quotes, so we can ignore this case for now.
