Avoid Wrapping Script Code In Quotes
The exec() command only runs a program with literal argument strings.
It does not know how to do things like expanding environment variables,
or piping/redirection. Hence the way to get "shell intelligence"
is to use exec() to run the `sh` process with the command line string
as a parameter.
But the method being used to do this was:
exec.exec(`sh -c \\"${script}"`)
This has problems, because wrapping the script in quotes creates
issues when the script itself contains quotes. Escaping the string
correctly is a non-trivial problem, which also would create "noise"
in the debug output which would add confusion.

The easiest way to work around this here is to use the array form of
exec() to pass exactly two parameters to `sh`. No manipulation of the
script string is needed with this approach:
exec.exec("sh", ["-c", script])
There are more cases in the project of `sh -c` usage which should also
be changed, and likely abstracted (shellExec()?) But this small patch
just fixes the most important case for the user-provided script.

Additionally, this removes the escaped backslash (`\\`) from the
start of the executed command. That was presumably to suppress the
use of aliases:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/524254/why-are-backslashes-included-in-this-shell-script
But because this is invoking a non-interactive shell session, aliases
would not apply. Hence the extra backslash shouldn't be needed.
