bug#43644: Double quote missing from exec-shell-cmd button command when run

[Robert Weiner]

This has been resolved in the latest master git branch of Hyperbole and
will be integrated into the next release.

If you replace this function in "${hyperb:dir}/hpath.el" with this version, reload and
then modify your global button, {C-h h g m}, so the shell command is
correct, and then re-activate the button it should work.

(defun hpath:trim (path)
  "Return PATH with any [\" \t\n\r] characters trimmed from its start and end."
  ;; Trim only matching starting and ending quoted double quotes (must
  ;; be a single line string).
  (setq path (string-trim path))
  (when (string-match "\\`\".*\"\\'" path)
    (setq path (string-trim path "\"" "\"")))
  path)
