bug#19605: cp -v vs LC_ALL vs. quote marks

I'm saying please don't force me to need LC_ALL=C to make the quotes
U+0027 APOSTROPHE always.

Long ago there were no quotes.

Then somebody thought quotes looked pretty, so they added U+0027
APOSTROPHE always.

Then somebody else thought `....' looks cooler than '....' and made it
that way.

Then somebody thought that might make more work when copy and pasting
when sending that to the shell, and needing to fix it if three clicks
got the quotes too, so made it back to U+0027 APOSTROPHE. Good.

Except they forget to fix it back for other locales.
