[issue9723] Add shlex.quote

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

Even if quote does not start with an underscore, its absence from the docs and from the module’s __all__ make it a private function.

I propose to make it public as shlex.quote in 3.3 and deprecate pipes.quote for people that relied on it (i.e. move code from pipes/test_pipes to shlex/test_shlex, add doc, write a pipes.quote function that sends a DeprecationWarning and calls shlex.quote).
