read -S now correctly handles nested double quotes

Prior to this bugfix, the following set of commands would
fail to print two double quotes:

IFS=',' read -S a b c <<<'foo,"""title"" data",bar'
echo $b

This fix is from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha, although it has
been revised to use stakputc to put the required double quote
into the buffer for consistency with the ksh93u+ codebase.

src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/read.c:
 - When handling nested double quotes, put the required double
   quote in read's buffer with stakputc.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
 - Add the regression test for `read -S` from ksh93v-.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
 - Fix a minor formatting error to highlight '-S' in the ksh(1)
   man page.
