When stripping watch flags, NODE_OPTIONS is tokenized and rejoined for the child process. Values were only re-quoted if they contained a space, and nothing inside the quotes was escaped. A value with a double quote made the child fail with "unterminated string", and a backslash inside a quoted value was silently dropped. Quote values that contain a space or a double quote, and escape backslashes and double quotes inside the quotes, so the child tokenizes the string back to the same values.

Quote values that contain a space or a double quote, and escape backslashes and double quotes inside the quotes, so the child tokenizes the string back to the same values.
