[Bug 1300272] [NEW] /usr/bin/annotate-scripts cannot use date format with whitespace

[Glenn Jackman]

Public bug reported:

$ annotate-output "+%F %T" whoami
date: extra operand `%T'
Try `date --help' for more information.
 I: Started whoami
date: extra operand `%T'
Try `date --help' for more information.
 O: glennj
date: extra operand `%T'
Try `date --help' for more information.
 I: Finished with exitcode 0

This is due to not using double quotes to protect the date format.

Please consider the following diff:

$ diff /usr/bin/annotate-output bin/annotate-output 
28c28
< 		echo "`date ${FMT}` $1: $line"
---
> 		printf "%s %s: %s\n" "$(date "$FMT")" "$1" "$line"
78c78
< echo "`date ${FMT}` I: Started $@"
---
> addtime I <<< "Started $*"
83c83
< echo "`date ${FMT}` I: Finished with exitcode $EXIT"
---
> addtime I <<< "Finished with exitcode $EXIT"


Test with:  annotate-output "+%F %T" sh -c 'echo stdout; echo stderr >&2'
