RPC console: escaping within ' and " now handled differently
Should now mimic bash quoting and escaping (see http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/quoting) exactly, leaving out argument expansion and obscure syntax like $''.

/**
* Split shell command line into a list of arguments. Aims to emulate \c bash and friends.
- *
+ *
* - Arguments are delimited with whitespace
* - Extra whitespace at the beginning and end and between arguments will be ignored
- * - Arguments can be "double" or 'single' quoted. Those are treated the same.
- * - The backslash '\' is used as escape character
+ * - Text can be "double" or 'single' quoted
+ * - The backslash \c \ is used as escape character
* - Outside quotes, any character can be escaped
- * - Within double quotes, only escape double quotes with \" and backslashes with \\
- * - Within single quotes, only escape single quotes with \' and backslashes with \\
+ * - Within double quotes, only escape \c " and backslashes before a \c " or another backslash
+ * - Within single quotes, no escaping is possible and no special interpretation takes place
*
* @param[out] args Parsed arguments will be appended to this list
* @param[in] strCommand Command line to split
