This should help Emacs work better out-of-the-box on Linux consoles,
which have only limited support for displaying Unicode characters.
Also, undo the recent change that caused text-quoting-style to
affect quote display on terminals, so that the two features are
independent. See Alan Mackenzie in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-09/msg00244.html
Finally, add a style parameter to startup--setup-quote-display,
so that this function can also be invoked after startup, with
different styles depending on user preference at the time.

New optional arg STYLE.
