[PATCH 3/3] tools/bootconfig: Preserve values containing both types of quotes

An unquoted bootconfig value can contain both single and double quote
characters, for example:

  message = He said "it's fine"

xbc_show_value() surrounds any value containing a double quote with
single quotes. If the value also contains a single quote, both compact
and list output become invalid bootconfig syntax and cannot be parsed
again.

Print values containing both quote types without outer quotes. Such
values can only come from unquoted input, so they do not contain the
delimiters that would require quoting. Keep using single or double
quotes for the other values. Add round-trip checks for compact and list
output, including an array containing the mixed-quote value.

Fixes: 950313ebf79c ("tools: bootconfig: Add bootconfig command")

The parser accepts message = He said "it's fine", but the original tool
prints a value surrounded by single quotes. The apostrophe in "it's"
then makes that output invalid.

I checked scalar and array values through compact and list output,
including literal backslashes, quote controls, and a test initrd image.
With the fix, all 25 focused checks pass, independently and in the
combined series, and the parsed values survive those round trips.
The full bootconfig test suite also passes.
