[Bug]: Preload Game Files (vmtouch) fail if an argument is used

[TrusterX]

Describe the bug

if you try to enable Preload Game data, while command arguments are passed in the launcher, you will receive an error from vmtouch - looks like a parse error to me:

08:43:53 (INFO) Launching an executable… 
08:43:55 (INFO) Using EasyAntiCheat runtime 
08:43:55 (INFO) Using BattlEye runtime 
/app/bin/vmtouch: invalid option -- 'c'
/app/bin/vmtouch: invalid option -- 'c'

vmtouch v1.3.1 - the Virtual Memory Toucher by Doug Hoyte
Portable file system cache diagnostics and control

Usage: vmtouch [OPTIONS] ... FILES OR DIRECTORIES ...

Options:
  -t touch pages into memory
  -e evict pages from memory
  -l lock pages in physical memory with mlock(2)
  -L lock pages in physical memory with mlockall(2)
  -d daemon mode
  -m <size> max file size to touch
  -p <range> use the specified portion instead of the entire file
  -f follow symbolic links
  -F don't crawl different filesystems
  -h also count hardlinked copies
  -i <pattern> ignores files and directories that match this pattern
  -I <pattern> only process files that match this pattern
  -b <list file> get files or directories from the list file
  -0 in batch mode (-b) separate paths with NUL byte instead of newline
  -w wait until all pages are locked (only useful together with -d)
  -P <pidfile> write a pidfile (only useful together with -l or -L)
  -o <type> output in machine friendly format.  'kv' for key=value pairs.
  -v verbose
  -q quiet
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]

To Reproduce

1. $ LANG=C flatpak run com.usebottles.bottles
2. Go to a Bottle (eg. Battle.net) → Settings → enable Preload Game files
3. go back and change launch Option for a Starter (in my Example for wowclassic.exe)
4. add "-console" to Command Arguments (without the quotas) and click save.
5. click "play".
