Forwarding problem report to assign a bug number to this.

In brief, the code that restores certain variables assigned as a result
of the command line arguments fails if any of those values contain
whitespace.  This is a problem becuase the --target_board option can
legitimately be a list of mulitple targets to run.

From: Christoph Müllner <[email protected]>

A recent change (5fafcd43) introduced a command line argument cache,
that ensures that command line arguments have a higher priority
than configuration files.

That cache uses the following code to save and restore:
    save_cmd_var:
      upvar 1 $name target_var
    restore_cmd_vars"
      uplevel 1 set $name $value

This works well unless $value becomes a multi-word string
(i.e. a string that contains spaces), because in this case
the command becomes:
    uplevel 1 set $name arg-word0 arg-word1 ...
Obviously this will trigger the following error:
    wrong # args: should be "set varName ?newValue?"
Quoting "$value" does not help, because the quotes are evaluated before
executing set.

Let's fix this by using upvar for the restore code as well:
    upvar 1 $name target_var
    set $target_var "$value"
Here, the quotes will be evaluated when executing the set command.

This has been reported in a downstream project, where this bug prevented
running the GCC regression tests when building in multilib
configuration:
    https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain/issues/1201
The actual command in this report was:
    set target_list riscv-sim/-march=rv32imac/-mabi=ilp32/-mcmodel=medlow \
      riscv-sim/-march=rv32imafdc/-mabi=ilp32d/-mcmodel=medlow \
      riscv-sim/-march=rv64imac/-mabi=lp64/-mcmodel=medlow \
      riscv-sim/-march=rv64imafdc/-mabi=lp64d/-mcmod
