Subject: bpo-43776: Remove list call from args in Popen repr (GH-25338)

Removes the `list` call in the Popen `repr`.

Current implementation:

For cmd = `python --version`,  with `shell=True`.

```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: ['p', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n', ' ', '-', '-',...>
```

For `shell=False` and args=`['python', '--version']`, the output is correct:

```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: ['python', '--version']>
```

With the new changes the `repr`  yields:

For cmd = `python --version`,  with `shell=True`:

```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: 'python --version'>
```

For `shell=False` and args=`['python', '--version']`, the output:

```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: ['python', '--version']>
```
