Subject: [PATCH] fileio: quote more shell characters in envfiles

Turns out, making strings shell-proof is harder than expected:

# machinectl set-hostname "foo|poweroff" && . /etc/machine-info

(This could be simplified by quoting *and* escaping all characters,
which is harmless in shell but unnecessary.)
