feat: Add shlex to correctly parse executable commands with spaces by nbayati · Pull Request #1855 · googleapis/google-auth-library-python

The `subprocess.run` command was using `.split()` which does not handle quoted paths with spaces correctly. This would cause a `FileNotFoundError` when the path to the executable contained spaces.

This change replaces `.split()` with `shlex.split()` to correctly parse the
command string.

A test case has been added to verify the fix and prevent regressions.
