// Unquote interprets s as a single-quoted, double-quoted, or backquoted
// Prometheus query language string literal, returning the string value that s
// quotes.
//
// NOTE: This function as well as the necessary helper functions below
// (unquoteChar, contains, unhex) and associated tests have been adapted from
// the corresponding functions in the "strconv" package of the Go standard
// library to work for Prometheus-style strings. Go's special-casing for single
// quotes was removed and single quoted strings are now treated the same as
// double quoted ones.
