Subject: [PATCH 3/3] funclib: refactor quoting methods a bit

>From now we have two basic functions to perform string quoting for
shell evaluation -- 'func_quote_arg' to quote one argument and
'func_quote' which takes list of arguments to be quoted.

New function name-scheme should be more descriptive (previously we
called func_quote_for_eval with one argument and also multiple
arguments, while we had confusing
$func_quote_for_eval_unquoted_result which is redundant for
multiple-arguments call).

New abstraction allowed us (in an easy way) to implement
bash-specific optimization for quoting  (using
'printf -v VARNAME %q "$value"', suggested by Eric Blake), this
construct may be used on those places where we don't care much
about the result aesthetics (its thus not useful for '*.la'
generation or for error printing).

* gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (func_append_quoted): Use
func_quote_arg internally (kept in 'pretty' mode for now).
(func_quote): Made to be "main" high-level quoting method taking
list of arguments to be quoted into single command.  It replaces
func_quote_for_{expand,eval}.
(func_quote_portable): Implements quoting in shell, falling back
to portable sed call (rare cases).
(func_quotefast_eval): New internal function using fast
bash-specific construct, falling back to func_quote_portable for
non-Bash scripts.
(func_quote_arg): New function to quote one argument.
(func_quote_for_eval): Removed.  All callers changed to call
func_quote.
(func_quote_for_expand): Likewise.
* bootstrap: Sync with funclib.sh and options-parser.

+# 'expand'
+#       - the same as 'eval';  but do not quote variable references
+# 'pretty'
+#       - request aesthetic output, i.e. '"a b"' instead of 'a\ b'.  This might
+#         later used in func_quote to get output like: 'echo "a b"' instead of
+#         'echo a\ b'.  This is slower than default on some shells.
+# 'unquoted'
+#       - produce also $func_quote_arg_unquoted_result which does not contain
+#         wrapping double-quotes.

+# Quote one ARG to be evaled later.  MODEs argument may contain zero ore more
+# specifiers listed below separated by ',' character.  This function returns two
+# values:
+#   i) func_quote_arg_result
+#      double-quoted (when needed), suitable for a subsequent eval
+#  ii) func_quote_arg_unquoted_result
 #      has all characters that are still active within double
-#      quotes backslashified.
-func_quote_for_eval ()
+#      quotes backslashified.  Available only if 'unquoted' is specified.
+#
+# Available modes:
+# ----------------
+# 'eval' (default)
+#       - escape shell special characters
+# 'expand'
+#       - the same as 'eval';  but do not quote variable references
+# 'pretty'
+#       - request aesthetic output, i.e. '"a b"' instead of 'a\ b'.  This might
+#         later used in func_quote to get output like: 'echo "a b"' instead of
+#         'echo a\ b'.  This is slower than default on some shells.
+# 'unquoted'
+#       - produce also $func_quote_arg_unquoted_result which does not contain
+#         wrapping double-quotes.
+#
+# Examples for 'func_quote_arg pretty,unquoted string':
+#
+#   string      | *_result              | *_unquoted_result
+#   ------------+-----------------------+-------------------
+#   "           | \"                    | \"

+#   "a b"       | "\"a b\""             | \"a b\"
