Currently teh parameters that have spaces are not properly parsed when invoking os.execv.
Ej:
We start blender with some parameters and then invoke bim.restart_blender:
C:\Users\falke>c:\Users\falke\Documents\blender-4.2.8-windows-x64\blender.exe --debug --python-expr "import bpy; bpy.ops.bim.load_project(filepath='C:/Users/falke/Documents/bonsaiDevel/Testing.ifc', should_start_fresh_session=True, use_detailed_tooltip=True)"
TBBmalloc: skip allocation functions replacement in ucrtbase.dll: unknown prologue for function _msize
Switching to fully guarded memory allocator.

By adding the proposed list2cmdline based solution, the commandline is properly formated before invoking os.execv
Thanks!
Just found that all scroll bars for UIList kept in sync using `list_id` - it's that second argument for `UILayout.template_list` that I forgot exist, since I've never seen set it to anything besides the empty string.
So in #6439 we were reusing same UIList for multiple collection props and since one of the props was empty, it was constantly resetting scroll bar position.
Was about to report it as a bug to Blender but stumbled upon similar issue https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/124364
So the solution is make sure each UIList has unique `list_id`.
