Closes #55022

## Summary

When a task explicitly uses `cmd.exe`, Zed prepares it as a shell
invocation like `cmd.exe /S /C "<command>"`.

If Python virtual environment activation is enabled,
`Project::create_terminal_task` wraps that prepared task in an outer
activation shell so the venv can be activated before the task runs.

Before this change, the activation formatter treated the prepared `/C`
command string as a normal shell argument and quoted it again. On
Windows, that can make cmd receive escaped quotes literally, producing
errors like `'\\"echo Hi there\\"' is not recognized...`.

This preserves the prepared cmd `/C` command string while building the
activation command, and keeps the existing quoting path for ordinary
task arguments.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p project formats_prepared_cmd_task`
- `cargo test -p project formats_non_cmd_task_for_activation`
- `cargo check -p project`
- `cargo fmt --check --package project`
- Manually verified on Windows with a selected Python `.venv` that a
`cmd.exe` task prints `Hi there` and finishes successfully.

Release Notes:

- Fixed Windows `cmd.exe` tasks failing when run with a selected Python
virtual environment.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
