    vcl: Allow header names to be quoted · c71ab01e

    Because we funnel HTTP header names through the symbol table they have
    to be valid VCL identifiers. It means that we can't support all valid
    header names, which are tokens in the HTTP grammar. To finally close this
    loophole without the help of a VMOD we allow header names to be quoted:
    
        req.http.regular-header
        req.http."quoted.header"
    
    However we don't want to allow any component of a symbol to be quoted:
    
        req."http".we-dont-want-this
    
    So we teach the symbol table that wildcard symbols may be quoted. There
    used to be several use cases for wildcards but it is now limited to HTTP
    headers.
