Benno Schulenberg 485eb18d83 syntaxes: use one regex for coloring quoted strings, to avoid overlap
Quoted strings cannot start within another quoted string and end after
that other string has ended.  Therefore single-quoted and double-quoted
strings should (as much as possible) be colorized by a single rule, so
that overlapping colorations are avoided.

(This also fixes a double typo in the PHP syntax (\. --> \\.) that has
been there since the PHP syntax was added in 2008, commit 90ee8ee4.)

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61387.

Bug existed since each of these syntaxes was introduced,
the oldest ones around 2006, a few others around 2015.

The one that got it right was the Lua syntax from 2011.
