// SplitExecCommand splits a command string into exec argv, treating a
// single-quoted segment as one argument even if it contains spaces (e.g.
// `sh -c 'echo a b'` stays 3 tokens instead of being shredded on every
// space). Single quotes are not escapable, matching POSIX shell semantics for
// single-quoted strings; there is no support for double quotes since callers
// only ever need one quoted tail argument (a `sh -c` script).
