terminal: Escape strings with backticks rather than backslashes in PowerShell (#39657)

Closes #39007 

Strings should be escaped with backticks in PowerShell, so the following

```
\"pwsh.exe -C pytest -m \\\"some_test\\\"\"
```

becomes

```
\"pwsh.exe -C pytest -m `\"some_test`\"\"
```

Otherwise PowerShell will misinterpret the invocation resulting in
weirdness all-around such as the issue linked above.

Release Notes:

- N/A
