Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] proc/bootconfig: Fix to use correct quotes for value

Fix /proc/bootconfig to select double or single quotes
corrctly according to the value.

If a bootconfig value includes a double quote character,
we must use single-quotes to quote that value.

This modifies if() condition and blocks for avoiding
double-quote in value check in 2 places. Anyway, since
xbc_array_for_each_value() can handle the array which
has a single node correctly.
Thus,

if (vnode && xbc_node_is_array(vnode)) {
	xbc_array_for_each_value(vnode)	/* vnode->next != NULL */
		...
} else {
	snprintf(val); /* val is an empty string if !vnode */
}

is equivalent to

if (vnode) {
	xbc_array_for_each_value(vnode)	/* vnode->next can be NULL */
		...
} else {
	snprintf("");	/* value is always empty */
}
