YAML front matter parser does not strip single or double quotes on scalars
See original GitHub issueSteps to reproduce the problem (provide example Markdown if applicable):
---
title: 'Sixteen corners'
layout: post

Last year
Expected behavior:
frontMatter["title"].single() == "Sixteen corners"
Actual behavior:
Note the retained single quotes (') surrounding the value. This is also a problem with double quotes (").
YAML spec dictates behavior on unquoted, single-quoted, and double-quoted scalars: https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/#73-flow-scalar-styles
