ctag with space in path about vscode-python

Relations to #146

I can confirm that I'm experiencing the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 and 17.04 with VS Code 1.18.1 / Python Extension 0.8. Generating the tags using a relative path, as stated in the original report, works for me.

My ctags version info is as follows:

$ ctags --version
Exuberant Ctags 5.9~svn20110310, Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Darren Hiebert
  Compiled: Nov 26 2017, 16:38:57
  Addresses: <[email protected]>, http://ctags.sourceforge.net
  Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex, +internal-sort

(I tried recompiling ctags with the --disable-external-sort option, which some users had reported success with in other instances of ctags malfunctioning due to whitespace, but it didn't seem to have any effect in this case)

I can verify this is a bug.

Using Build Workspace Symbols:

C:\Users\brettcannon\Downloads\ctags58\ctags58\ctags --options=C:\Users\brettcannon\.vscode-insiders\extensions\vscode-python\resources\ctagOptions --languages=Python --exclude=**/site-packages/** -o "c:\Users\brettcannon\Desktop\some bunk\.vscode\tags" .
ctags: cannot open tag file : Invalid argument

Copying and pasting the exact same command into PowerShell:

PS C:\Users\brettcannon\Desktop\some bunk> C:\Users\brettcannon\Downloads\ctags58\ctags58\ctags --options=C:\Users\brettcannon\.vscode-insiders\extensions\vscode-python\resources\ctagOptions --languages=Python --exclude=**/site-packages/** -o "c:\Users\brettcannon\Desktop\some bunk\.vscode\tags" .
PS C:\Users\brettcannon\Desktop\some bunk>

Maybe it's how we escape characters that we send to the terminal? I know that can be a bit tricky.
