Work around a software bug in vSphere

Browse source 
Due to a software bug in vSphere, it fails to handle ampersand in datacenter names.
The solution is to do what vSphere does (when browsing) and double-encode ampersands.

It is likely other characters need special treatment like this as well, haven't found any.
