Description

The properties file format requires that single-quote characters are escaped with an extra single-quote. A number of messages don't follow this rule.

Take this example from the Italian localization:

42X34=Esiste un parametro ? nell'elenco di selezione. Ci\u00F2 non \u00E8 consentito.

Note that there's only a single apostrophe in "nell'elenco" above. When this message is printed, the apostrophe will be omitted:

$ LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 java -jar derbyrun.jar ij
Versione ij 10.6
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:db;create=true';
ij> select ? from sys.systables;
ERRORE 42X34: Esiste un parametro ? nellelenco di selezione. Ciò non è consentito.

We should go through the message files and add extra apostrophes where they are missing.
