[PATCH v10 4/5] lib/cmdline.c: Implement single quotes in commandline argument parsing.

[Michal Suchanek]

This brings the kernel parser about on par with bourne shell, grub, and
other tools that chew the arguments before kernel does.

This should make it easier to deal with multiple levels of
nesting/quoting. With same quoting grammar on each level there is less
room for confusion.
