package-update-upgrade-install does not work on Gentoo

[Gilles Dartiguelongue]

I'm testing cloud-init in a nocloud setup. I'm trying to perform installation of packages using the appropriate module and after fixing some issues in Gentoo packaging, I hit an error in execution due to cmd = list('emerge') being interpreted as ['e', 'm', 'e', ...] while it was meant as ['emerge'].

This should be fixed in the upcoming 22.2 release.
