Bug description:XSLTProcessor::setParameter() should allow both quotes to be used

Description:
------------
XSLTProcessor::setParameter() does not currently allow values that contain
both single quotes and double quotes. This appears to be intentional, as
per php_xsl_xslt_string_to_xpathexpr() located in ext/xsl/xsltprocessor.c
line 119.
(https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/xsl/xsltprocessor.c#L119)

This shortcoming comes from the fact that XPath 1.0 does not provide a
mechanism to escape characters, so PHP does not have a straightforward way
to express a string that contains both types of quotes. XPath 1.0 does,
however, provide a function to concatenate strings. Using concat(), a
string composed of the two characters "' can be expressed as
concat('"',"'"). concat() takes 2 or more arguments so as long as you
alternate the quoting style, you can express a string containing any number
of quotes of both types.

This is the proposed change: use XPath's concat() function to express
strings that contain both types of quotes.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$xml = new DOMDocument;
$xml->loadXML('<X/>');

$xsl = new DOMDocument;
$xsl->loadXML('<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:output
method="text"/><xsl:param name="foo"/><xsl:template
match="/"><xsl:value-of
select="$foo"/></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>');

$xslt = new XSLTProcessor;
$xslt->importStylesheet($xsl);
$xslt->setParameter('', 'foo', "\"'");

echo $xslt->transformToXml($xml);

Expected result:
----------------
"'

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  XSLTProcessor::transformToXml(): Cannot create XPath
expression (string contains both quote and double-quotes) in %s on line %d
