Wrap metals:default-shell command arguments in quotes

[jchyb]

The issue appeared when importing a bazel project for MBT while using the metals:default-shell setting.
Without this, for any command that includes parentheses, these may be interpreted as e.g. glob qualifier syntax.

The issue was found and tested using zsh (and when that is set as metals:default-shell flag), but solution should work with other shells.
