Feature strings with no quote in BT XML policy

[MarcoLm993]

With this change, we do not need to wrap strings in the BT.xml ports with single quotes.
If strings contain quotes, they will be considered part of the string itself (via escaping).
This means BT Port = "'aaa'" -> ASCXML data = "'\'aaa\''"

@MarcoLm993 @ct2034 I think this change broke AS2FM compilation/verification with Scan. Now strings are not surrounded by single quotes in SCXML either, and are thus interpreted as identifiers (the outer double quotes belong to the XML syntax, while everything inside them is interpreted as ECMAScript).

I am unsure about the rationale for this change, but at least I would like to recover the previous behavior for the SCXML output. Other than that, are you sure the change could not cause similar issues elsewhere? How is a string literal distinguished by an identifier in general?

@EnricoGhiorzi Oh, I did not notice that the SCXML part got broken:
The main idea was to make sure we could digest actual BT.xml files, where strings are not surrounded by the single quotes, but in SCXML this should have stayed as it was originally (hence identifiers with no extra quotes, and strings with the extra single-quotes).
I'll investigate.

Thank you @MarcoLm993 fir the reply, it is now clear why this was necessary. It seems indeed that the issue is limited to string literals originating from the BT. Please, let me know if any help is needed.
