SCP performs a transfer by running scp on the server with the remote path embedded in a command. On a shell-based server that command is interpreted by a shell, so a path that is not quoted to suit that shell can be executed as a command on the server (GHSA-mggc-4xg6-vcxf); on a non-shell-based server the path is used literally and must not be quoted at all. The right encoding therefore depends on the server, and no single transformation is safe for every server. Rather than default this choice, obsolete the ScpClient constructors that implicitly used DoubleQuote and add constructors that take an IRemotePathTransformation explicitly, so callers must choose one suited to their server and trust environment. DoubleQuote remains the default for the obsolete constructors, so existing behaviour is unchanged. Document the consideration on ScpClient and IRemotePathTransformation, and recommend using SFTP.
