Postcss transformation fails with space in filepath in Windows

[jdclarke5]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.74.3/extended windows/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

Summary

When running hugo command in Windows within a working directory with a space (e.g. C:\Users\Jackson Clarke\...), the postcss transformation fails with the following error.

Error: Error building site: POSTCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.css" (text/css): 'C:\Users\Jackson' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Obviously the space means that the path is being interpreted as separate command line arguments. The error would occur at the following line:

hugo/resources/resource_transformers/postcss/postcss.go

Line 199 in 6add6d7

cmd := exec.Command(binary, cmdArgs...)

A potential fix would be to ensure such file paths are surround by double quotation marks.

Note: Running the hugo_extended_0.74.3_Windows-64bit.zip build.
