Handling of apostrophes is incorrect #2

@nkovacs

Description

@nkovacs

Copied from messageformat/messageformat#175

messageformat.js does not handle double apostrophes correctly.

var mf = new MessageFormat('en');

console.log(mf.compile("I see '{many}'")());
console.log(mf.compile("I said '{''Wow!''}'")());
console.log(mf.compile("I don't know")());
console.log(mf.compile("I don''t know")());

This should output (assuming DOUBLE_OPTIONAL):

  1. I see {many}
  2. I said {'Wow!'}
  3. I don't know
  4. I don't know

The first two don't work at all, and the fourth one outputs two single quotes instead of one.
