[Bug 1120917] [NEW] annotate-output should preserve whitespace

[Alex Dehnert]

Public bug reported:

annotate-output currently clobbers line-initial whitespace, and also interprets backslash sequences:
adehnert at esp:~$ annotate-output echo '   foo\\'
01:37:31 I: Started echo    foo\\
01:37:31 O: foo\
01:37:31 I: Finished with exitcode 0

I believe the attached patch fixes both these issues.

Thanks,
Alex
