The following Content should now be returned:

Refactor the private function private_fl_fss_basic_read() into private_fl_fss_basic_or_extended_read() to make it more explicitly clear that it provides functionality fo both FSS Basic and FSS Extended.
This changes to the code such that when an unterminated quote is detected then the calling function will set the disable quote flag and then call the function again.
Writing these unit tests exposed some bugs, such as:
- The one solve in commit ba257a8b8385ec8dedfc9bc9bb596e420ca552f8.
- The FSS extended read is not handling unterminated single quote correctly.
An unterminated single quote in an extended requires that the quotes be treated as normal text, as per the standard.
This means that the quote should be broken up into unquoted content.
This is not the case and is considered a bug.
For example, consider the following line:
a " b c d.
That line is currently being interpreted by extended read as a single content called:
[0] = " b c d.
Instead, this should end up being 4 contents:
[0] = "
[1] = b
[2] = c
[3] = d.
The unit tests files that I created here should expect this and therefore the extended read tests currently fail.

Update: Switch to using the common format string structure where possible.
There may be other cases, but these are the ones I was able to quickly find.
After glancing over this I would also note that the common parameter argument printing could also be made common strings.
These would be common strings that are specific to something like fll_program.
