### Describe the bug
It seems that the FileVersionProvider that is invoked when using the "asp-append-version" doesn't like files returned via asp-src-include if such files contain whitespace.
``
This **does not work** when the filename/path contains whitespaces.
Directly referencing the path, however does work and includes a cache-bust version number.
Assume you have a file called **"/js/Library/My Javascript File.js"**.
The following works. It's got white space in the path, but it's referenced directly:
``
This will give you a referenced file and a file version string attached (e.g. "?v=23423425212").
However, the below _doesn't work_:
``
The file is referenced/included in the page output, but no append-version (e.g. "?v=323234234231") is attached.
This also _doesn't work_:
``
Here we are providing the src directly, but the whitespace is URL encoded to "%20". Same problem. The file referenced/included in the page output, but no append-version is attached.
The reason seems to be that `"src"` and `"asp-src-include"` return the file path(s) to the `FileVersionProvider` with whitespace being URL Encoded to "%20". But `PhysicalFileProvider` does not like that (you can't retrieve a file from the Operating System with `%20` in the path). Windows says no to "C:\Program%20Files\".
### Expected Behavior
Files included/referenced through globbed file patterns should be able to have version strings attached (through "asp-append-version") **even if they contain** whitespace.
Equally, files which are referenced as "~/myPath/My%20File%20name.css" should be able to have version strings attached even though the white space is URL encoded.
