Description
**Describe the bug**
The az deployment group create command seems to expect literal double-quotes for the preview --query-string argument.
**To Reproduce**
If the command is executed without the double quotes, it will not be able to parse the 2nd query string parameter onwards.
Error if literal double quotes are omitted
```
az deployment group create -g resource-group-name --template-uri https://storageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/somecontainer/azuredeploy.json --query-string "sv=2019-12-12&st=2021-03-05T05%3A09%3A00Z&se=2021-03-06T05%3A09%3A00Z&sr=c&sp=racwdxlt&sig=******" --parameters C:\Temp\parameters.json
Argument '--query-string' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus

```
**Expected behavior**
I would expect the --query-string parameter to not need literal double quotes, at least in Windows.
**Environment summary**
```
Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0
Python 3.6.8
Installer: MSI
azure-cli 2.20.0
```
**Additional context**
To successfully run the command above, I have to include literal double-quotes as part of the value as such:
```
az deployment group create -g resource-group-name --template-uri https://storageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/somecontainer/azuredeploy.json --query-string "`"sv=2019-12-12&st=2021-03-05T05%3A09%3A00Z&se=2021-03-06T05%3A09%3A00Z&sr=c&sp=racwdxlt&sig=******`"" --parameters C:\Temp\parameters.json
```
