Sudo option with one line script

[shikhov]

Playbook:

tasks:
  - name: test
    commands:
      - name: echo-test
        script: echo $appname

Without sudo option script works fine:

 run task "test", commands: 1
  > sh -c 'appname="myapp"; echo $appname'
  > myapp
 completed command "echo-test" {script: sh -c 'appname="myapp"; echo $appname'} (244ms)
 completed task "test", commands: 1 (770ms)

With sudo option variable $appname is empty:

 run task "test", commands: 1
  > sudo sh -c "sh -c 'appname=\"myapp\"; echo $appname'"
  > 
 completed command "echo-test" {script: sh -c 'appname="myapp"; echo $appname', sudo: true} (255ms)
 completed task "test", commands: 1 (769ms)

it's because echo is built-in command. Use /bin/echo for this
