xlate: get rid of escape_quotes

Its not necessary to escape " characters, we can let xtables-translate
print the entire translation/command enclosed in '' chracters, i.e. nft
'add rule ...', this also takes care of [, { and other special characters
that some shells might parse otherwise (when copy-pasting translated output).

The escape_quotes struct member is retained to avoid an ABI breakage.

This breaks all xlate test cases, fixup in followup patches.

v3: no need to escape ', replace strcmp(x, "") with x[0] (Phil Sutter)
