     Use curved quotes in core elisp diagnostics

And there we go, sneaking curved quotes everywhere in the Elisp source files. FTR, I hate that.

     In the core elisp files, use curved quotes in diagnostic formats,
     so that they follow user preference as per ‘text-quoting-style’
     rather than being hard-coded to quote `like this'.

Why do you need that? Doesn't (format "Expand `%s'? " string) use the "preferred quoting style"?

And if not, why don't you change it so it does?
