Fix https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/17524
Recent update meant to support variable with spaces and dots broken the
database event variables. Inserting a variable `My Name` will be
inserted as `{{trigger.[My Name]}}`
For example, for a database event, we send `trigger.properties.after.id`
instead of `id`.
With the new code, we will consider `properties.after.id` as a variable
to wrap in `[]`, giving `trigger.[properties.after.id]` which cannot be
resolve.
Let's only support variable with spaces. Removing the logic to wrap
variable with dots.

Currently, JSON keys with spaces like { "toto toto": 123 } are rejected
with "JSON keys cannot contain spaces" error. This is problematic for
HTTP requests and webhook triggers where users cannot control the
response structure.
We use Handlebars to eval variables, segment-literal bracket notation to
escape keys with special characters:
Normal: {{step.normalKey}}
With spaces: `{{step.[key with space]}}`
So we simply need to wrap segments with spaces with brackets.
This PR:
- Create shared path utilities to wrap the variable segments when needed
- Use it in all variable generation places
- Remove the restrictions
This body is now supported:
