I was shocked to discover that 'btrfs receive --dump' doesn't print a
space after long filenames, so it runs together into the metadata; for
example:

truncate        ./20-00-03/this-name-is-32-characters-longsize=0

This is a trivial patch to add a single space unconditionally, so the
result is the following:

truncate        ./20-00-03/this-name-is-32-characters-long size=0

I suppose this is technically a breaking change, but it seems unlikely
to me that anyone would depend on the existing behavior given how
unfriendly it is.
