ShellEscape should put double quotes around strings with a single quote

Description

Hi,

I was running mythmetadatalookup and it failed on a recording that had a subtitle of:
Tackin'

The reason was that it passed the following to the ttvdb.py script: 

ttvdb.py -l en -N 90571 Tackin'

The command line was confused by the single quote. Attached is a simple patch that puts double quotes around strings with a single quote in them so that they look like: 

ttvdb.py -l en -N 90571 "Tackin'"

I wasn't sure if always putting double quotes around strings would break anything else so I kept the patch as unintrusive as possible.

Thanks!

Doug
