Title:
  apt-key cannot handle spaces in --keyring filename

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in apt package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Any apt-key command with a keyring option with a space fails:

  $ apt-key --keyring /mnt/sec-machines/apport-retrace/Ubuntu\ 15.10/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brian-murray-ppa.gpg list  
  usage: gpg [options] [filename]
  [  2:35PM 10435 ]  [ bdmurray@impulse:/tmp ]
   $ apt-key --keyring /mnt/sec-machines/apport-retrace/Ubuntu\ 15.10/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv-keys 0BA6DE0806196831530C54F0915A9DFB6AF4FEF1
  Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --homedir /tmp/tmp.G5RYVPgFgS --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model always --keyring /mnt/sec-machines/apport-retrace/Ubuntu 15.10/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /mnt/sec-machines/apport-retrace/Ubuntu 15.10/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv-keys 0BA6DE0806196831530C54F0915A9DFB6AF4FEF1
  usage: gpg [options] [filename]

  This is because gpg isn't passed the keyring file name with the space.
  Below we can see apt-key create a folder named foo instead of using
  the passed "foo bar".

   $ apt-key --keyring /tmp/foo\ bar adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv-keys 0BA6DE0806196831530C54F0915A9DFB6AF4FEF1
