Amend documentation for text-quoting-style becoming a user option.
* doc/lispref/control.texi (Signaling Errors): * doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages): * doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings): Edit for brevity, farming out the details to the new Text Quoting Style node. * doc/lispref/help.texi (Text Quoting Style): New section. Move detailed discussion of text-quoting-style here. Add discussion about how to output grave accent and apostrophe in documentation and messages. Adjust xrefs to point to this section when appropriate. * etc/NEWS: text-quoting-style semantics have not changed.
