[docs] [issue30079] Explain why it is recommended to pass args as a string rather than as a sequence If shell is True

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Because passing a sequence to shell=True won't work on unix.  It only works more-or-less by accident on windows, even though the current docs kind of encourage it.  Yes, I think it would be good if these sentences were clarified.
