Apostrophe escaping

Based on: https://github.com/apache/tomcat85/pull/7#discussion_r108534666

Several messages passed to MessageFormat include apostrophes which are interpreted by MF, unfortunately they are not escaped which means -- according to Javadoc -- the content between is printed literally. Two single quotes escape to one single quote after interpolation.

See attached patched for updated properties files. Changes apply only to messages which contain format elements. Please review and say whether updated strings are now as intended. 

Patch done of Tomcat 8.5 trunk.

Thanks for the patch. I've applied it to 9.0.x along with a bunch of similar issues I found. I will back-port it but probably tomorrow.
