Description

We noticed that the improved whitelist error messages added by OOZIE-2072 weren't being printed properly:
e.g.

Error: E0901 : E0901: NameNode [localhost:8020] not allowed, not in
Oozies whitelist. Allowed values are: {1}

Turns out that MessageFormat requires that single quotes are escaped by another single quote; otherwise, it:

• doesn't render the single quote
• doesn't parse the {#} tokens after the single quote.

For example,

foo("{0} don't have {1}", "I", "a problem")

would render as

"I dont have {1}"

We have to replace ' with '' to escape it.
