#40718: MCE editor_settings first_init 'format' JSON names should be quoted

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The default 'format' JSON value does not quote the key names in objects.
 This is required by JSON spec RFC 7159
 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#page-6) and also required by PHP's
 json_decode (Example 3: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-
 decode.php). This makes it difficult to parse and modify using built-in
 libraries.

 Example:

 {{{
 {alignleft: [{selector: "p,h1,etc", styles: {textAlign:"left"}}]}
 }}}

 Should be:

 {{{
 {"alignleft": [{"selector": "p,h1,etc", "styles": {"textAlign":"left"}}]}
 }}}
