Refs #30116 -- Simplified stdout/stderr decoding with subprocess.run()'s encoding argument.

2019-11-04T10:21:25Z

The encoding argument has been available since Python 3.6. https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.run

Adjusted subprocess.run() calls to use arg list, rather than string.

2019-08-28T08:19:30Z

The Python docs recommend passing a sequence to subprocess.run() when possible. Doing so allows for automatic escaping and quoting of arguments. https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#frequently-used-arguments > args is required for all calls and should be a string, or a sequence > of program arguments. Providing a sequence of arguments is generally > preferred, as it allows the module to take care of any required > escaping and quoting of arguments (e.g. to permit spaces in file > names). Also removed `shell=True` where unnecessary.

Replaced subprocess commands by run() wherever possible.
