Avoid premature de-doubling of quote marks in ECPG strings.
If you write the literal 'abc''def' in an EXEC SQL command, that will
come out the other end as 'abc'def', triggering a syntax error in the
backend. Likewise, "abc""def" is reduced to "abc"def" which is wrong
syntax for a quoted identifier.
The cause is that the lexer thinks it should emit just one quote
mark, whereas what it really should do is keep the string as-is.
Add some docs and test cases, too.
Although this seems clearly a bug, I fear users wouldn't appreciate
changing it in minor releases. Some may well be working around it
by applying an extra doubling of affected quotes, as for example
sql/dyntest.pgc has been doing.
Per investigation of a report from 1250kv, although this isn't
exactly what he/she was on about.
