Description

When you mix " and ' in a command line unix command line, unix parser and perhaps windows one doesn't take into account the first type of quote.
An example:
with this command line: /bin/sh -c '/bin/echo "ResourceFile AdminPager: " >> /tmp/notif_toto.txt'

It split in
std::vector of length 5, capacity 8 = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/bin/echo ResourceFile", "AdminPager:", " >> /tmp/notif_toto.txt"}

It should split in:
std::vector of length 3, capacity 8 = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/bin/echo "ResourceFile AdminPager:" >> /tmp/notif_toto.txt"}

An example of implementation: [centreon collect](https://github.com/centreon/centreon-collect/blob/4fc9ec16970fa0390aa2e185040ad47cfd0a852c/clib/src/misc/command_line.cc#L136)
