Quote ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} so hooks work on paths with spaces#171

Both SessionStart and UserPromptSubmit hook commands passed
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} unquoted, so the shell split the expansion
on whitespace whenever a user's plugin root contained a space
(e.g. /Users/Tyler Laprade/...). Node received a truncated path
and errored with "Cannot find module '/Users/Tyler'", preventing
the plugin from loading.
Wrapping the variable in double quotes keeps the path intact on
any POSIX-style shell and has no effect on paths without spaces.
Fixes JuliusBrussee#157
