Bug fix in mandos-ctl: handle backslashes in password

* mandos-ctl (mode=password): When sending the password to gpg, use
  "printf" instead of "echo -n".  This avoids the behavior of the
  "echo" builtin in "dash", which always interprets backslash escape
  codes.

      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

      the service.  All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,

      even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.
 
76
      the service.  The settings in this file can be overridden by
 
77
      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.
