Description:
------------
The escapeshellarg function in PHP creates wrongly escaped text on 
windows. It seems it always uses the single-quote (') for escaping the 
strings, however on windows the correct way to escape is using the 
double-quote (") character. 
 
The same problems seems to be in the escapeshellcmd function as 
well. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
escapeshellarg( "-arg value" );

Expected result:
----------------
"-arg value" 

Actual result:
--------------
'-arg value'
