When stripping watch flags, NODE_OPTIONS is tokenized and rejoined
for the child process. Values were only re-quoted if they contained
a space, and nothing inside the quotes was escaped. A value with a
double quote made the child fail with "unterminated string", and a
backslash inside a quoted value was silently dropped.
Quote values that contain a space or a double quote, and escape
backslashes and double quotes inside the quotes, so the child
tokenizes the string back to the same values.
