Note: this potentially breaks custom qemu_configs if people are using
them! But the fix for them is simple, don't specify multiple arguments
in one string and don't add on a redundant ''.

It feels a bit iffy to be using a shell in the first place.

There's the usual shenanigans where people could pass in arbitrary shell
commands via --kernel_arg (since we're just adding '' around the
kernel_cmdline) or via a custom qemu_config.
This isn't too much of a concern given the nature of this script (and
the qemu_config file is in python, you can do w/e you want already).

But it does have some other drawbacks.

One example of a kunit-specific pain point:
If the relevant qemu binary is missing, we get output like this:
> /bin/sh: line 1: qemu-system-aarch64: command not found
This in turn results in our KTAP parser complaining about
missing/invalid KTAP, but we don't directly show the error!
It's even more annoying to debug when you consider --raw_output only
shows KUnit output by default, i.e. you need --raw_output=all to see it.

Whereas directly invoking the binary, Python will raise a
FileNotFoundError for us, which is a noisier but more clear.

Making this change requires
* splitting parameters like ['-m 256'] into ['-m', '256'] in
  kunit/qemu_configs/*.py
* change [''] to [] in kunit/qemu_configs/*.py since otherwise
  QEMU fails w/ 'Device needs media, but drive is empty'
* dropping explicit quoting of the kernel cmdline
* using shlex.quote() when we print what command we're running
  so the user can copy-paste and run it
