[Small change] Issue with dired-do-async-shell-command and certain shell

Steps to reproduce:
 
1. Use fish as your system shell.
2. Use dired-do-async-shell-command on any file, and type e.g. mpv.
 
Fish interprets "&wait" as part of the file name, so mpv returns: "[file] Cannot open file '027.wav&wait': No such file or directory."
 
Solution:
 
In the function dired-shell-stuff-it, replace "&wait" with "& ".  Then fish interprets the command correctly.
