From: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>

While discouraged by a KB article to use special characters in
inventory object names [1], ESX won't stop you. And thus users
can end up with a datastore named "datastore2+", for instance.
The datastore name (and datacenter path) are important when
fetching/uploading a .vmx file (used in APIs like
virDomainGetXMLDesc() or virDomainDefineXML()). And while we do
URI encode both (dcPath and dsName), encoding them once is not
enough. Cole Robinson discovered [2] that they need to be
URI-encoded twice. Use newly introduced
esxUtil_EscapeInventoryObject() helper to encode them twice.
