Spaces in ssh_arguments are not respected

[Dachande663]

• Deployer version: 7.0.1
• Deployment OS: Ubuntu 22.04

host('123.123.123.123')->set('ssh_arguments', ['-o ProxyCommand="ssh [email protected]"']);

When setting an SSH argument on a host that includes a space, the connectionOptionsArray method calls explode on each argument with a space as the split character. Unfortunately, this explode doesn't respect spaces within protected whitespace e.g. between the "ssh" and "user@bastion" in the example above. This means the argument is split here, escaped again, and results in a bash error:

/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Is it possible to remove the explode, or if it's required, make sure it respects spaces within quote fences?

I see. Probably we need to refactor this part to keep old syntax and remove explode.
