The `QuotedString` option was added in [moby@e4c1f07] and [moby@abe32de] to work around a regression in Docker 1.13 that caused `docker-machine` to fail. `docker-machine` produced instructions on how to set up a cli to connect to the Machine it produced. These instructions used quotes around the paths for TLS certificates, but with an `=` for the flag's values instead of a space; due to this the shell would not handle stripping quotes, so the CLI would now get the value including quotes. Preserving quotes in such cases is expected (and standard behavior), but versions of Docker before 1.13 used a custom "mflag" package for flag parsing, and that package contained custom handling for quotes (added in [moby@0e9c40e]). For other flags, this problem could be solved by the user, but as these instructions were produced by `docker-machine`'s `config` command, an exception was made for the `--tls-xxx` flags.

The `QuotedString` implementation has various limitations, as it doesn't follow the same handling of quotes as a shell would. Given that Docker Machine reached EOL a long time ago and other options, such as `docker context`, have been added to configure the CLI to connect to a specific host (with corresponding TLS configuration), we should remove the special handling for these flags, as it's inconsitent with all other flags, and not worth maintaining for a tool that no longer exists. This patch deprecates the `QuotedString` option and removes its use. A temporary, non-exported copy is added, but will be removed in the next release.
