MediaWiki::shell with parameter fails on Windows
Open, HighPublic

Description

Executing Shell::command( $wgScoreLilyPond, '--version' ) returns score-versionerr with the message:

'c:\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe" "--version' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

Notably, the quotation marks are quite odd in the error message. This works under Vagrant though. It only fails on Windows. Extending the issue, this probably also affects the rendering stage.

I have an easy fix for this issue in particular (does not fix the other shell issue related to non-blocking pipes in Windows). Should I send a PR against master for mediawiki/core repo?

While T223903 is breaking one of the tests, it seems a few other tests are (still) erroring
