bug#29729: [PATCH] Support French password prompts in shell

I noticed that French password prompts in `shell-mode' weren't detected
as such by `comint-watch-for-password-prompt' due to a space between the
password prompt and the colon (as in `Mot de passe :'), so I modified
`comint-password-prompt-regexp' to detect this space (as well as
non-breaking spaces before and after the colon, which is used by sudo).

Please let me know if I missed anything, as this is my first patch.
Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH] Support French password prompts in shell

French punctuation rules require a space (preferably non-breaking)
before the colon, but password prompts following this rule were not
identified properly by `comint-watch-for-password-prompt'.

 * lisp/comint.el (comint-password-prompt-regexp): support
   spaces (including non-breaking spaces) before and after password
   prompt colon.
