cucumber-expression: Define default parameter type for quoted strings

[aslakhellesoy]

Summary

Cucumber should recognise double-quoted strings out of the box, in a consistent way across implementations.

Expected Behavior

Consider the undefined step:

Given my "blue" coat is zipped

Cucumber should recognise "blue" as a match of a string parameter type and suggest a snippet with the following Cucumber Expression:

my {string} coat is zipped

When the step defintion is implemented, Cucumber should pass the part between the double quotes to the step definition.

Current Behavior

Cucumber.js already registers a default stringInDoubleQuotes parameter type which does all of this.

Possible Solution

Define and register this default parameter type in cucumber-expressions so Cucumber implementations don't have to do it.

Context & Motivation

The parameter type name stringInDoubleQuotes is a bit long, and won't read well in step definitions. Using string instead would make it more readable/intuitive and it would standardise the behaviour in the cucumber-expression library, avoiding inconsistent behaviour on different cucumber implementations.
