Prior to this change, the about_Quoting_Rules topic document didn't indicate that PowerShell treats smart/typographic quotation marks as normal/programmer quotation marks, making them subject to the same escaping and quoting behaviors.

This change:

• Adds a note about smart quotation marks and guidance to avoid using them to enclose strings.
• Adds an example of escaping smart quotation marks.
• Fixes AB#309820
• Resolves Note about smart quotes #11401
