Bernhard Voelker eeefd1dc72 xargs: in -t,-p output, quote the command to be executed when needed ...

To improve readability for the user, xargs(1) shall quote each part
of the command to be executed when printing it to stderr, i.e. for
the -t (--verbose) and -p (--interactive) options.  Example:
  $ echo "some file" | ../xargs -p -I'{}' rm '{}.c' '{}.o'
  rm 'some file.c' 'some file.o' ?...

* xargs/xargs.c (print_args): Apply "shell-escape" quoting.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.gnu/space-t-0.xe: Adjust test.
* tests/xargs/verbose-quote.sh: Add test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference it.
* README (Improvements): Mention the change.
