TPF Devel::Cover grant report Week 8

In accordance with the terms of my grant from TPF this is the report for
week 8 of my work on improving Devel::Cover.

This report covers 07.07 to 13.03.

This week I released Devel:Cover 0.90.

I spent some time working through RT and github tickets, resolving those
I could and merging pull requests.

RT 62423 concerns Devel::Cover failing its tests when it is built in a
directory containing spaces, which appears to be the default when
building with cpan on OSX.  I couldn't build on OSX, but I did fix
things up so that Devel::Cover should now work in directories which
contain spaces.  (But if you prefer your life to be easier, i suggest
you don't do that.)

I also added some tests and fixed up various other little bits and bobs.

Closed RT tickets:

  75565 cover -test fails Writing HTML output on Windows
  62423 Devel::Cover 0.73 tests fail due to unescaped path
