This is a followup to the recent doc string change, and deals with
diagnostics and the like.  This patch is more conservative than
the doc string change, in that the behavior of ‘format’ changes
only if its first arg contains curved quotes and the user prefers
straight or grave quotes.  (Come to think of it, perhaps we should
be similarly conservative with doc strings too, but that can wait.)
The upside of this conservatism is that existing usage is almost
surely unaffected.  The downside is that we'll eventually have to
change Emacs's format strings to use curved quotes in places where
the user might want curved quotes, but that's a simple and
mechanical translation that I'm willing to do later.  (Bug#21222)
