[Qt-creator] It's time to fix double redundant quotes

A while back, I started a discussion about Creator's quoting policy.  There was a lot of support, and a few people were concerned about changing the behavior that has been there since the beginning.

However, I'm again tired of fighting with creator inserting "" when I type " and deleting both when I backspace over one. This behavior only occurs in QtCreator, and no other editor _ever_, and it needs to go. It is a "clever trick" that costs more than it is clever. At least for me, YMMV.

Yes, there is a checkbox, but that applies to brackets and braces as well.

Fundamentally, I want to changes to the behavior:
1. If the character after the cursor is not whitespace, do NOT double quote ("")
2. If backspacing over a double quote, do not remove both double quotes.

For the love of all that is binary!!!
