The code for adding quotes for origval was copied from code
that outputs the new value.  Should they both use ":"?

Before fix:

  log-edit-confirm is a variable defined in ‘log-edit.el’.
  Its value is t
  Original value was changed

After fix:

  log-edit-confirm is a variable defined in ‘log-edit.el’.
  Its value is t
  Original value was ‘changed’

Should both values be changed now to use ":"?

  log-edit-confirm is a variable defined in ‘log-edit.el’.
  Its value is: t
  Original value was: changed

PS: t is not the best example for the new value because Help
doesn't add quotes for t and nil.  Here is a better example:

  (setq log-edit-confirm 'newvalue)

Current:

  log-edit-confirm is a variable defined in ‘log-edit.el’.
  Its value is ‘newvalue’
  Original value was ‘changed’

With ":":

  log-edit-confirm is a variable defined in ‘log-edit.el’.
  Its value is: newvalue
  Original value was: changed
