Bug #7622
closedTechnique files contains UTF-8 chars (especially spaces)
Description
There is several techniques files containing UTF-8 chars, especially an UTF-8 space.
AFAIK, these chars are only in comments, but I only looked in system techniques.
The problem with a change to remove them will be in merge where it will be hard to know what is the correct space to get.
For information, the joined file is a list of such chars in system techniques.

We had a problem with a cfengine command not doing what was expected due to a utf-8 space in place of a space.
We also add a problem with a third party scripts (python I believe?) that didn't parsed the content as expected due to them (it was breaking regex).
The bigger problem is that it breaks any regex apply on these file when done by human looking for space. It's surprising and deceving.

I will add a test to 'make test' to detect any such characters, at the same time as removing all existing ones. This should enable easy detection if they were to come back, or a merge were to reintroduce them.
