Escape single quotes while translating dropped Win32 paths
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When file/folder is dropped to the terminal, its path is translated and
quoted with a pair of single quotes if necessary.

However, despite that the Win32 subsystem allows single quote, the
terminal control does not escape it.  It causes a path containing one or
more single quotes incorrect on the POSIX shell context
(see Issue #18006 for an example).

With this commit, the terminal control escapes a single quote with a
valid escape sequence `'\''` (finish quote, print a single quote then
begin quote again) when the path translation is required.
