Why:

Let's unify the command for starting the ssh-agent in "Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent" across OSes.

#6642

What's being changed:

Windows eval command to start ssh-agent.

- $ eval `ssh-agent -s`
+ $ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

The result of this PR is that there is no longer any question as to whether the eval command should be different on Windows.
