Device names with spaces fail to be added to device-mapper tables
because spaces are field separators. In order to support it, use
device major:minor numbers, instead. While still there, make the
verbose output of container- and contained-slices consistent.
This is useful on some scenarios with arbitrary loop device names,
and non-user_friendly_names multipath WWIDs with spaces (eg, QEMU
emulated hard drives, and some IBM devices) on some distros.
Test-case:
# img="/tmp/my.img"
# spacename="/dev/my space name"
# truncate --size=1G "$img"
# lodev=$(sudo losetup --find --show "$img")
# ln -sf "$lodev" "$spacename"
# ls -l $lodev "$spacename"
