bug#24710: 26.0.50; Feature request: Replace double quotes in electric-q

User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.2.1

Currently electric-quote-mode only replaces ' and `.  I propose that
it also replace " with a left double quote after spaces, newlines, and
open parentheses, and with a right double quote after alphanumerics and
other punctuation.

This sounds reasonable, though I suppose it should be controlled by an option, since some people may prefer the current behavior where `` and '' are the only convenient ways to get curved double quotes.

Also, shouldn't it always replace " with a curved quote of one flavor of the other? I'm puzzled as to why one would want " to stay straight, when the option is enabled.
