The use of `$*` prevents correctly cd'ing into a directory with spaces in its path name since each segment of the name around the space is treated as if it is a separate argument. Example: `"dir/path with spaces"` is treated as `dir/path` and `with` and `spaces`. This causes `cd` to fail. It also causes `__gvm_oldcd` to fail, although call to `builtin cd` will succeed. Same issue happens if path is specified as `dir/path\ with\ spaces`. This patch fixes this issue by using "$@" to correctly handle spaces.
