gst-validate-launcher: Print copypaste-friendlier commands

This patch removes the quotes surrounding the command shown by
gst-validate to reproduce the issues -- which were troublesome when
copying and pasting.

It also introduces escaping for the arguments, so that the command line
can be copied and pasted in the terminal without further changes.
