Handle spaces in dotfile name
In mkrc, separate the list of files with newlines instead of spaces. Change the `$IFS` when iterating to handle this. We hand the file off to rcup, which encodes the file name by replacing spaces with the bell character (`\a`). rcup then sends the file name off to lsrc, which decodes the bell back into a space. The test makes sure an `a` character is in the filename, in case some encoding goes wrong. We use tr(1) instead of sed(1) because tr(1) handles `\a`. Shoutout to Sublime Text 3 for forcing this issue.
