Special characters in SRCROOT sometimes lead to build failures #4637

In CESM, the CAM build fails if SRCROOT has a + in it. I don't know if other special characters also cause a problem, though I know _ is okay. I think there are two paths forward, though maybe others can add to this list:

Determine what special characters are problematic, and then update create_newcase to produce a useful error message directing users to rename SRCROOT if any are present
Figure out what needs to be changed to allow these problematic characters in the directory name
