Paul Eggert 818f06eaa7 Prefer straight quoting in some text files
Mostly this just changes ` to ' in static text.  Some exceptions:
* INSTALL.REPO: Use curved quotes, as the diagnostic in question
typically does that now.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (TRY, top level):
Use straight quoting in diagnostics.
* src/README: Fix working-directory confusion.

NOTES ON THE EMACS PACKAGE ARCHIVE
The GNU Emacs package archive, at elpa.gnu.org, is managed using a Git
repository named "elpa", hosted on Savannah. To check it out:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/elpa
cd elpa
git remote set-url --push origin git+ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/emacs/elpa
[create task branch for edits, etc.]
Changes to this branch propagate to elpa.gnu.org via a "deployment" script run
daily. This script (which is kept in elpa/admin/update-archive.sh) generates
the content visible at http://elpa.gnu.org/packages.
A new package is released as soon as the "version number" of that package is
changed. So you can use 'elpa' to work on a package without fear of releasing
those changes prematurely. And once the code is ready, just bump the
version number to make a new release of the package.
It is easy to use the elpa branch to deploy a "local" copy of the
package archive. For details, see the README file in the elpa branch.
