Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/bcb65eaf9ef87cea28c6eb9a62890065a047e62c

PropertyContent's value should be quoted when the value is string.

Since PropertyContent's value is CSSValueList, added forceQuoteString parameter to customCssText of CSSValueList and CSSPrimitiveValue.

There are actually a number of recent Blink commits here that would improve our output of not just `content` but other properties that may output serialized strings:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/98b9b9fdbecd8d860b2ca9c039adfc0491501c57 - allow some thigns to not be quoted
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/81caa9b01afbef1a41de355f9385a60da48ac556 - fix `content` processing from comma separated to space separated
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/3f2e47af2471ae3c3683079ffb5eb4b6f2e22df2 - fix `counter` strings.
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/c127d37233c824ba96d9fdba5bf4db8f1311fd0d - fix `content` strings.

This would be useful for the Web Inspector which wants to show "content" strings in the Computed Section of the inspector. Without similar changes, unquoted content computed values showing up in the Computed Section of the inspector are actually incorrect. See bug 147255.
