Often the first step to debugging why mosh doesn’t work is to try launching mosh-server via ssh in the same way that mosh does (as described in @eminence’s handy Debugging and Theory guide). We could make that easier and more discoverable by having mosh print the exact ssh command it’s running.
We’d probably want to tidy up our shell quoting so this output isn’t full of unnecessary quotes and quoted quotes.

I think this will help with the papercut of "Did not find mosh server
startup message". This message confuses people; often the real
problem is that the command to start the remote mosh-server failed
somehow.
Fixesmobile-shell#1042, partially resolvesmobile-shell#1005.
Also relevant for mobile-shell#1042 and countless questions on IRC.
