So as indicated, the passwords have to be urlencoded for the parsing and
masking to work. No changes will be done on the masking function on the
nova side to check for special chars in passwords as it doesn't make
sense. Marking this as a Won't Fix.

Title:
  nova-manage list_cells doesn't work if some special characters are in
  the passwords

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  nova-manage cell_v2 list_cells does not work without the --verbose
  flag if square brackets are used in the DB or transport URL passwords
  because we use
  https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#urllib.parse.urlsplit
  during masking of the passwords and it is explicitly mentioned that
  this gives a "ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL", for square brackets if
  they are not symmetric
  (https://github.com/enthought/Python-2.7.3/blob/69fe0ffd2d85b4002cacae1f28ef2eb0f25e16ae/Lib/urlparse.py#L181).
  Also using "?" or "#" in passwords do not mask the password. These
  exceptions surely need to be at least documented somewhere in nova if
  they cannot be fixed.

  This is what the Error looks like, which is not very helpful:
  An error has occurred:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
