[2.4.3] action argument with an asterisk causes "ERROR yaml: did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character"

[Dmitrii Shcherbakov]

While testing a charm I tried using a wildcard syntax which includes an asterisk and that caused juju (not the charm) to return "ERROR yaml: did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character". Removing the asterisk made juju to return 0 as an exit code.

juju run-action vault/0 upload-signed-csr pem=`base64 -w0 vault.csr` root-ca=`base64 -w0 ca.crt` allow-any-name=true allow-subdomains=true allowed-domains='*.maas' --debug
