Description of problem:
foreman_scap_client_cron not working for ansible deployments.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a host with scap configured via ansible.
2. Wait till scheduled cron time is complete.

Actual results:
- No reports generated even after scheduled cron time.

Expected results:
- Reports generated even after scheduled cron time.

Additional info:
- Issue seems to be occurring because of cron command in /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron

1. cat /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron
2. DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY
3. IT IS MANAGED BY ANSIBLE
4. ANY MANUAL CHANGES WILL BE LOST ON THE NEXT ANSIBLE EXECUTION #
5. Executing foreman_scap_client from command line may be useful for debugging purposes.

1. foreman_scap_client cron job
   */10 * * * * root "/bin/sleep 32; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client 3 > /dev/null"

- after removing quotes the command runs fine.

- while same file when configured scap_client using puppet looks like

1. cat /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client_cron
2. DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY
3. IT IS MANAGED BY PUPPET
4. ANY MANUAL CHANGES WILL BE LOST ON THE NEXT PUPPET RUN #
5. Executing foreman_scap_client from command line may be useful for debugging purposes.
6. It may generate warnings due to a reference to a missing file.

1. foreman_scap_client cron job

1. Runs foreman_scap_client 1
   */30 * * * * root /bin/sleep 517 ; /usr/bin/foreman_scap_client 1 2>&1 | logger -t foreman_scap_client
