one_vm: fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template (#6294)

* one_vm: fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template

with more complex templates that make use of quoted strings the new
"render" method fails to produce a template that is accepted by
OpenNebula.  ==> escape double quotes in strings to make OpenNebula
happy again.

I also tested whether newlines need to be escaped, looks like they are
fine as they are.

Fixes #6225

* module_utils/opennebula: skip empty values in render
