ALL: Possible to create corrupt config file

Description
Tested with the latest CVS snapshot.
It's possible to create a corrupt ScummVM config file, for instance by editing a game to insert a space in the target name. Such a file cannot be corrected from within ScummVM, since it will error out with a "Config file buggy" error message at startup.
Fingolfin's initial suggestion is to add a character filter to the text widget class.

I added a char filter to the widget class now, alright.
Of course that doesn't help people who already hosed their config file. Then again, it's not too hard to fix that issue with a text editor, and so far I only heard one report about a problem occuring here... So we might just ignore it.
