[Bug 1368497] Re: AMT Power control doesn't handle some passwords

Could this be caused by improper quoting in the script which invokes
amttool?

power_pass={{power_pass}}
[...]
issue_amt_command() {
  LC_ALL='C' AMT_PASSWORD="$power_pass" amttool "$ip_address" "$@"
}

Though if the ShellTemplate is quoting this correctly, it shouldn't be a
problem:

kiko at gasolinux:~$ PASS="abc$$def"
kiko at gasolinux:~$ AMT_PASSWORD="$PASS"
kiko at gasolinux:~$ echo $PASS
abc15306def
kiko at gasolinux:~$ echo $AMT_PASSWORD 
abc15306def
kiko at gasolinux:~$ PASS='abc$$def'
kiko at gasolinux:~$ AMT_PASSWORD="$PASS"
kiko at gasolinux:~$ echo $AMT_PASSWORD 
abc$$def
