all: quote string arguments in error messages
These strings are often file names or other user specified
parameters, which can give confusing errors in
the presence of unexpected characters for example.
* cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule.
* src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote().
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
