Rename help-quote-translation to text-quoting-style,

and by Drew Adams in:

* doc/lispref/help.texi (Keys in Documentation)
* etc/NEWS:
* lisp/cus-start.el (standard):
* src/doc.c (Fsubstitute_command_keys, syms_of_doc):
Document and/or implement the new behavior instead of the old.
(syms_of_doc): New symbols 'grave' and 'straight'.
