Checklist
What is the idea?
The check_path_spaces option issues a message either as an error (that blocks the installation) or as a warning (that allows the installation to continue). There should be an option to disable the warning completely for installer authors who are confident that spaces are not going to cause their users any issues.
Why is this needed?
The warning in the installer is likely to scare users even if spaces have been determined to be necessary/acceptable by the installer author. As a result there should be an option to disable the message completely.
What should happen?
The check_path_spaces setting should offer the ability to error, warn or to be disabled entirely.
Additional Context
While this option would be good, it would be better if conda create and conda-build addressed their own issues/warnings with respect to spaces in paths. On Windows 'Program Files' is a common place for people to install to!
