Fixed an issue with `run_command("echo 'Hello'")` where wrapping commands
in args in single quotes caused invalid parsing in POSIX-compliant shells.
In these shells, single quotes enclose literal text, making escape sequences
like `\'` invalid. For more details, refer to the GNU Bash manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Single-Quotes.html.
For example, calling `run_command("echo 'Hello'")` would be incorrectly
escaped by `vim.fn.shellescape` as `echo '\''Hello'\''`, leading to
invalid parsing. The fix replaces the outer double quotes with single
quotes where necessary and command arg with double qoute, ensuring proper
escaping and compatibility across different shell environments.
