Specify the first- and second-level quotes for the smartquotes extension

[jppellet]

Description / Summary

The smartquotes extension will output curly quotes “” and ‘’ instead of "" and '', which is great. But not all languages use these quotes. It would be great to have a way to specify them.

Value / benefit

Better support for non-English languages

Implementation details

Custom quotes can directly be passed to the md instance as markdown-it supports this. The "quotes" option of md is an array of four strings that specify opening and closing first- and second-level string. For instance, it could be set to ['«\u202F', '\u202F»', '“', '”'] for French.

Ideally it should be configured according to the language set in sphinx.
