Make the value nil in text-quoting-style mean what it does in Emacs 25.
This is a partial reversion of yesterday's commit by the same author, which changed the meaning of nil and introduced the new value t. * src/doc.c (text_quoting_style, text-quoting-style) (internal--text-quoting-flag): Revert yesterday's changes. * lisp/cus-start.el: (top level): Amend the entry for text-quoting-style. * etc/NEWS: Amend the entry for text-quoting-style. * doc/lispref/control.texi (Signalling Errors) * doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages) * doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings): Bind text-quoting-style to grave rather than nil to inhibit translation of quotes. * doc/lispref/help.texi (Keys in Documentation): Revert the description of the proposed new default, t.
