tests: avoid quoting of commit messages for test portability

journal extension uses util.shellquote() to record command line, but
result of it depends on runtime platform: double quotation is used on
Windows and OpenVMS, but single quotation is used otherwise.

test-journal-share.t sometimes specifies commit messages including
white space on command line. It makes journal output depend on runtime
platform, but commit message itself isn't important in this test case.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
