Quoting of paths when pushing to Windows over SSH

[Ben Boeckel <mathstuf@gmail.com>]

Hi,

It seems that some quoting when creating the SSH command line for the
SSH transport needs some extra logic to handle remote hosts which are
not using POSIX shells (namely `cmd`). With the Windows "Enable SSH
Server" built-in feature, it ends up failing with this being attempted
(as reported by `GIT_TRACE=2`):

    run_command: unset GIT_PREFIX; GIT_PROTOCOL=version=2 ssh -o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL hostname 'C:/Progra~1/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-receive-pack.exe '\''remote/path'\'''

Of note here:

  - I could not figure out a way to have a path with a space for
    `git-receive-pack` (it just kept saying `C:\Program` is not a
    program regardless of what kinds of quoting I tried), but DOS
    shortnames suffice here at least.
  - the remote path is single-quoted which is not stripped on the other
    side, so the error that `'remote/path'` does not exist ends up
    happening.

I do *not* want to change the default shell on the other side because it
is actually useful to be `cmd` in this instance (for `vcvarsall.bat`
namely) when logging in manually. Some potential solutions:

  - a way to set the shell to use on the remote for ssh command;
  - a way to say "use double quotes, not single quotes" (or some other
    way to tell `sq_*` that we're not talking to POSIX on the other
    side).

I was able to move forward for now with this patch that I'm using in a
specific build to talk to this remote (on top of 2.34.1) because I know
I don't have any special characters in my instance:

diff --git a/connect.c b/connect.c

What might be the best way of making this work more widely?
