wordexp p is now initialized to {0} to prevent a segfault on wordfree
in the failure case.

File paths with single quotes and double quotes are now supported. The
quote can either be wrapped in the other quote or escaped with three
backslashes.

Additionally to make passing file paths with double quotes to swaybg
easier, instead of enclosing the path given to swaybg in quotes, all
spaces, single quotes, and double quotes in the resulting path are now
escaped with a single backslash.
