CmdShell does not escape asterisk arg value (SCM-763) #37

Description

@michael-o

This was found during SCM-763.

Consider your want to pass a password (on Windows) with asterisk: S8p3r*S3cr3t. The escaped outcome is S8p3r*S3cr3t. No change, but to pass an asterisk you need to quote the entire string otherwise the shell will expand the asterisk. Correct value would be: "S8p3r*S3cr3t"

Currently, this is impossible in Plexus Utils.
