The environment variable TIG_LS_REMOTE can be used to select the references that Tig will display. When using a command like TIG_LS_REMOTE='sh -c "a | b"' tig, we pass an argv-array with 3 elements to execvpe. The third argument is passed with quotes, which means that the shell tries to run a command that is literally called 'a | b'. Fix this by removing quotes. We already split arguments with a shell-like syntax, so this only improves compatibility. This makes it easier filter away unwanted refs (jonas#1160) without creating a script TIG_LS_REMOTE.
