Treat initial-scratch-message as a doc string
* doc/emacs/building.texi (Lisp Interaction): * doc/lispref/os.texi (Startup Summary): * etc/NEWS: Document this. * lisp/startup.el (initial-scratch-message): Look up find-file’s key rather than hardcoding it. (command-line-1): Substitute the doc string. This also substitutes the quotes, which will help test display quoting at startup.
