md5sum: quote all printed file names
This is especially significant when using --check with files generated on a windows system, where the \r characters produce corrupted and confusing error messages. This also ensures status messages are output on a single line. * src/md5sum.c: Use quote() for printed file names. * tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Adjust accordingly. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/21757
