Title:
  configure script breaks when $source_path contains white spaces

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I noticed that the configure script breaks when the qemu source
  directory is in a path containing white spaces, in particular the list
  of targets is not correctly generated when calling "./configure
  --help".

  Steps to reproduce the problem:

  $ mkdir "dir with spaces"
  $ cd dir\ with\ spaces/
  $ git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu.git
  $ cd qemu/
  $ ./configure --help | grep -A3 target-list

  
  Actual result:

    --target-list=LIST       set target list (default: build everything)
                             Available targets: dir with *-softmmu dir with 
                             *-linux-user

  
  Expected result:

    --target-list=LIST       set target list (default: build everything)
                             Available targets: aarch64-softmmu alpha-softmmu 
                             arm-softmmu cris-softmmu hppa-softmmu i386-softmmu 
                             lm32-softmmu m68k-softmmu microblaze-softmmu 

  
  This happens because the $mak_wilds variable uses spaces to separate 
different paths, maybe newlines may be used, which are less likely to be in 
directory names.

  BTW "shellcheck" may help finding some other problems.

  Qemu version:

  $ git describe 
  v3.1.0-1960-ga05838cb2a

  Thanks,
     Antonio
