Incorrect quoting of shell arguments when submitting to SLURM

When submitting to a SLURM resource a command that has shell
metacharacters in its arguments (see example in `gmbsim.py`),
submission fails miserably::

    gc3.gc3libs: ERROR: Got error in submitting task 'GmbsimApplication.72848', informing scheduler: LRMSError: Failed executing command 'cd /home/gc3-user/.gc3pie_jobs/lrms_job.it9lZWqpXb && sbatch --no-requeue --time 120 --mem-per-cpu 1000 --output sim_run_dclone_design_test.log --job-name sim_run_dclone_design_test_dates=1:7_sampling=c(4,2*7+6,7over7)_isolation=c(80*3,200*4,150,150)_detection=c(0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25,0.99,0.99,1)#1 ./script.7faeea7748a2b259.sh' on resource 'mbrooks'; exit code: 2, stderr: '/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

While the script arguments are (maybe?) properly quoted, arguments to
the `sbatch` command are not.
