django.contrib.admin.util.quote does not handle spaces (%20 -> _20)

Description

I have a primary key that allows spaces, e.g., "foo bar", which comes
up in the admin list page properly, but the
URL becomes "http://example.com/admin/myapp/mymodel/foo%20bar/" when I
expect it to become "http://example.com/admin/myapp/mymodel/
foo_20bar/". If you follow the link you'll get a debug page with:

"""
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://example.com/admin/myapp/mymodel/foo%20bar/

mymodel object with primary key u'foo%20bar' does not exist.
"""

It seems that django.contrib.admin.util.quote should convert spaces
along with the other characters it already does.

I was unable to reproduce this in a stripped down testcase. We worked around this in our project in another way, but I'm not convinced it's a Django bug. I will reopen if I come up with proof that this is broken in the base system.
