Fix a couple issues in synchronize with docker (#23047)

* Fix a couple issues in synchronize with docker

* Make the rsync_opts parse as a list using the same criteria as
  module_utils argumentspec parsing
* Do not quote arguments in the action plugin.  The module will quote as
  it knows whether it will invoke rsync with a shell or via exec.

Fixes #23046
