Description

Support the three json row quoting flavors currently supported by the mapnik.org csv plugin described here: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/1392.

The proposed supported flavors are:

    "{\"type\":\"Point\",\"coordinates\":[30.0,10.0]}" // escaped
    '{"type":"Point","coordinates":[30.0,10.0]}' // single quotes no need for escaped
    "{""type"":""Point"",""coordinates"":[30.0,10.0]}" // filebakery.com style
