Profile Config: inconsistent parsing of print/start_gcode vs filament/start_filament_gcode

[Andrei-Pozolotin]

Description of the bug

While working on a custom python parsing and building of config.ini profile files,
a bug is discovered: when encoding multi-line custom gcode commands, there is an
inconsistent parsing and encoding of the print/start_gcode vs the filament/start_filament_gcode,
namely, in the PrusaSlicer cpp code base:

• start_filament_gcode uses quotes "bracketing" depending on single-vs-multi line commands
• while start_gcode can not use quotes "bracketing" regardless of single-vs multi line commands

The bug manifests itself as following in the UI, when selecting a custom config.ini in the preset list:

• trying to use start_gcode with quotes results in unusable gcode entry
• trying to use start_filament_gcode without quotes results in empty gcode entries
• and no errors are reported in either case

The bug can also be confirmed by a basic config file search in the repository:
file search for start_gcode =
vs
file search for start_filament_gcode =

This bug also affects other similar custom gcode config entries.

This issue is a request to:

• make config.ini parsing and encoding consistent
• report errors in the UI when incoming user files errors are wrong
