maint: quote 'like this' or "like this", not `like this'
This is in response to a recent change in the GNU coding standards, which now suggest quoting 'like this' or "like this", instead of `like this' or ``like this''. * HACKING, NEWS, README, README-hacking, TODO, doc/diagmeet.note: * doc/diffutils.texi, ms/config.bat, ms/config.site: * src/analyze.c, src/cmp.c, src/context.c, src/diff.c: * src/diff.h, src/diff3.c, src/dir.c, src/ifdef.c, src/io.c: * src/sdiff.c, src/side.c, src/system.h, src/util.c: * tests/help-version: Quote 'like this' or "like this" in commentary. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust to reflect new NEWS quoting. * man/help2man: Update to 1.40.4 version, with quoting fixed as above. * po/en.po: Remove translation involving `, as it's no longer needed. * src/cmp.c (try_help, specify_ignore_initial, usage, main): * src/diff.c (main, try_help, option_help_msgid, specify_value) (compare_files): * src/diff3.c (main, try_help, option_help_msgid, usage) (read_diff): * src/dir.c (compare_names): * src/sdiff.c (try_help, usage, check_child_status, main): * src/util.c (finish_output): * tests/help-version: Quote 'like this' in output.
