Error with Passwords containing '%'

[jameskupke]

This is a minor issue, it appears that the password string is not escaped properly and will error out if it has a %

Here is code output (with some items redacted):

> python zap2it-GuideScrape.py

configparser.InterpolationSyntaxError: '%' must be followed by '%' or '(', found: '%PASSWORDREMOVED'

Workaround is pretty easy, I just changed to a different password that didn't have a % and was able to get the XML.
