[I] [Task]: Invoke GnuPG with an argument list instead of a shell command string (hop)

bamaer opened a new issue, #8311:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/8311

   ### What needs to happen?
   
   `GPG.execGnuPG()` builds a command string and runs it through a shell
   (`/bin/sh -c` on POSIX, `Runtime.exec(String)` on Windows) — `GPG.java:160-176`.
   Callers concatenate filenames, key IDs and the passphrase into that string
   wrapped in double quotes, which do not prevent shell expansion. Filenames come
   from a directory scan (`ActionPGPEncryptFiles.java:621`), so their content is
   interpreted rather than passed to GnuPG literally.
   
   Change `execGnuPG` to take a `List<String>` and use
   `new ProcessBuilder(command).start()` with no shell. The ten call sites in the
   same file drop their quote concatenation; `gnuPGCommand` (`"--batch --armor "`)
   becomes two list elements.
   
   Same code path, worth fixing together: `decryptFile()` passes the passphrase on
   argv via `--passphrase` (readable in the process table) and the debug log at
   line 165 logs it. Both go away by using `--passphrase-fd 0`, already used
   elsewhere in the class.
   
   No public API or metadata change — `execGnuPG` is private and the public
   signatures stay as they are.
