get_netsync_connect_command() has a "quote_patterns" that is only set
when using ssh:// ; the comments say it's to keep the remote shell from
doing expansion. But, IIRC on Windows the expansion is done inside
Monotone itself. So, we want to also set that for file:// syncs on
Windows only. Also, we use '\'' for the quote character, which will
result in the '\'' characters still being part of the processed
argument; I think we need '"' quotes for them to get stripped (on
Windows only, again).
