Jim Blandy b24022116e Bug 1503613: Make 'mach xpcshell-test' print the command in shell syntax. r=ted
When passed the `--verbose` flag, `mach xpcshell-test` already prints the
current directory, environment variables, and command used for the test.
However, it prints them in Python syntax. This seems like a good thing to do, as
it's a clear indication of what the test is actually doing. But if one wants to
reproduce a problem by running the xpcshell command directly, it's an
error-prone pain to convert from Python lists of strings to the Bourne shell
syntax.

Fortunately, the Python 2.7 `pipes` module has a function, `pipes.quote`, which
produces properly quoted Unix shell commands, ready to be copied and pasted into
one's terminal.

Unfortunately, the xpcshell tests still clean up the $obj/temp/xpc-plugins-FOO
directory, so this still isn't quite ready to go.
