--spec with glob splits filename at weird position

[ypresto]

Current behavior

When --spec option has glob [...] (even if escaped), cypress splits the argument at weird position, while it should be split by comma.

It is not only output text issue: specified spec files are actually not found by cypress even they are exists.

Desired behavior

No response

Test code to reproduce

Case 1: Split at middle of the filename

$ npx cypress run --spec 'cypress/integration/foo/bar/[baz]/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo/bar/[baz2]/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooooooooooo.ts'
Can't run because no spec files were found.

We searched for specs matching these glob patterns:

  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo/bar/[baz]/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo/bar/[baz2]/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooo
  > /path/to/project/e2e/oooooooooo.ts

Case 2: Does not split at comma

$ npx cypress run --spec 'cypress/integration/foo/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo/bar/[baz2]/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooooooooooo.ts'
Can't run because no spec files were found.

We searched for specs matching these glob patterns:

  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo/bar/[baz2]/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooooooooooo.ts

Case 3: Even when globs are escaped

$ npx cypress run --spec 'cypress/integration/foo/bar/\[baz\]/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo/bar/\[baz2\]/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooooooooooo.ts'
Can't run because no spec files were found.

We searched for specs matching these glob patterns:

  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo/bar/\[baz\]/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo/bar/\[baz2\]/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooo
  > /path/to/project/e2e/oooooooo.ts

Working as expected when no glob patterns are specified:

$ npx cypress run --spec 'cypress/integration/foo/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo/bar/baz2/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts,cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooooooooooo.ts'

  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo/bar/baz2/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo3/bar/baz/test.ts
  > /path/to/project/e2e/cypress/integration/foo4/bar/baz/foooooooooooooooo.ts
