investigate issues with `npx` between v8 > v9

• anecdotally, seems like there's some issues with parsing args that has changed

Yep npm/cli#5064

npm/cli#5729

If I run npm env echo Hello \$PATH what runs is "env echo Hello '$PATH'"

I was also seeing a difference between 8.19.2 and 9.0.0. I haven't investigated that yet but I will.

I investigated and it was my error. I was using npm bin and reading the output of the command without checking the exit code, so it was producing unexpected results. 🤦🏼

I think this issue was created after I found the bug while talking to @darcyclarke. Since the other issue is being tracked in the CLI repo, I'm going to close this one.
