Doom-emacs: `doom/reload` does not work if the `.emacs.d/bin/doom` resides in a path that contains white spaces

What did you expect to happen?
SPC h r r a.k.a doom/reload reload the latest config

What actually happened?
The command failed because it can not find the executable doom, which is due to the white space in the path not being correctly escaped.
