Description
A user reports (https://forum.netgate.com/topic/197026/25-03-b-20250306-0140-if_pppoe-kernel-module-chap-failure/10 ) that a leading space in a password used to be ignored as it was written to the mpd5 configuration file without quotes around it.
That's not the case with if_pppoe, so it's considered part of the password.
The if_pppoe behaviour is probably what we want, but we ought to at least document this for TAC.
We should also check if we're correctly handling passwords with symbols such as ", ', \, ... in them here: https://gitlab.netgate.com/pfSense/pfSense/-/blob/master/src/etc/inc/interfaces.inc?ref_type=heads#L2311
