introduce a convenience notation for qualified names

Description:
PROV-N has a production for typed literals [1].

"1234" %% xsd:Integer
"abc" %% xsd:String

It allows for convenience notation (with stringLiteral and intLiteral)

123
"abc"


Qualified names need to be written as follows:

"ex:Foo" %% xsd:QName

Which is not very pleasant to read.


It is proposed to introduce a convenience notation for qualified names.
The proposal is to use another form of singe quotes for this:

'ex:Foo'

would convenience notation for

"ex:Foo" %% xsd:QName



PS. At the same time, we should allow for more relaxed local names (not necessarily XML QNames). We should allow prov:qualifiedName in the list of permitted dataytypes in literals.
