[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ovn-ctl: Handle whitespaces when using eval for start_ovsdb:

I think that just drops the "local" instead of separating it. I think
that would be better. I also think that we should do it for each
"local" rather than just for a single one, because it's hard to guess
whether some other variable might have a space in it.
Thanks,
Ben.
