[ddlm-group] Close quotes not followed by whitespace

CIF2 no longer skips close-quotes that are not followed by whitespace. I assume that close-quotes still need trailing whitespace, and that it is simply a syntax error for a close quote followed by non-whitespace. Therefore, it should be possible to allow CIF1 input for backwards compatibility by accepting these invalid close-quotes on input. That should help minimize conflicts with adopting CIF2. The only input that would be misinterpreted would be a quote character written as """, most software will have written as '"', using the opposite quote character. So, this: ;\ ;\ ; is just a syntax error in CIF2, or can be accepted as a line-folded ";" in CIF1.
