lib/cli: encodeGNUCommandLine -> toGNUCommandLineShell
The semantic difference between `encode` and `to` is not apparent. Users are likely to confuse both functions (which leads to unexpected error messages about the wrong types). Like in `generators.nix`, all functions should be prefixed by `to`. Furthermore, converting to a string depends on the target context. In this case, it’s a POSIX shell, so we should name it that (compare `escapeShellArg` in `strings.nix`). We can later add versions that escape for embedding in e.g. python scripts or similar.
