Consistent attribute value quoting in examples.

The examples throughout the HTML5 specification have an inconsistent use of
attribute value quoting, this can be observed in particular in the Forms
section (4.10). Where one attribute value is surrounded by quotes, the other
one isn't, even within a single element like:

<input type=tel name="custtel">

All examples should be using one consistent style, where the recommended style
should be applied.

The HTML spec deliberately uses a mix of styles to avoid advocating any one in particular.
