Quantity latex representation of degrees has extraneous space

In a ipython console (i.e., using _repr_latex_), the following looks wrong:

This is a direct consequence of to_string(format='latex') putting a \; between.

There should be no space between the 10 and the degree symbol.

# Put your Python code snippet here.
import astropy.units as u
q = 10*u.deg
q.to_string(format='latex')
# '$10 \\; \\mathrm{{}^{\\circ}}$'

True for all versions of astropy
