1/ When printing the "name=" entry for --brief output,
enclose name in quotes if it contains spaces etc.
Quotes are already supported for reading mdadm.conf
2/ When a name is used as a device name, translate spaces
and tabs to '_', as well as the current translation of
'/' to '-'.

malloc should never fail, and if it does it is unlikely
that anything else useful can be done. Best approach is to
abort and let some super-daemon restart.
So define xmalloc, xcalloc, xrealloc, xstrdup which don't
fail but just print a message and exit. Then use those
removing all the tests for failure.
Also replace all "malloc;memset" sequences with 'xcalloc'.

Both --detail and --monitor can report the names of member
devices on an array, and do so by searching /dev and finding
the shortest name that matches.
If
--prefer=foo
is given, they will instead prefer a name that contain /foo/.
So
mdadm --detail /dev/md0 --prefer=by-path
will list the component devices via their /dev/disk/by-path/xxx
names.

Some of util.c is dependent on lots of other code, some of it
is stand-alone.
Move some of the stand-alone stuff into a new lib.c so it can be used
by smaller utilities.
