Fix escaping of double quotes

When fixing the regular expressions for cnfvar parsing before, an old bug
came to light which did the de-escaping of double quotes in cnfvar values
too early (before regexes checked the input). Change that to give the
regexp parsers correctly escaped quotes and de-escape them only after the
initial parsing.

Add unittests to check this behaviour
