hostnamed: allow more special characters in pretty hostname
this addresses the bug at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59311 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895299 hostnamectl is supposed to allow a range of special characters for the 'pretty' hostname: $ hostnamectl set-hostname --pretty "Nathaniels Desktop !@#$%" ..however, it rejects apostrophes, double quotes, and backslashes. The manual for hostnamectl suggests that this should be allowed. It makes sense to reject \0, \n, etc. pretty_string_is_safe() is the same as string_is_safe(), but allows more special characters.
