LibTmux.Internal.OptionParser.DecodeEscapes(value: string) -> string
```

Decodes tmux's escaping without touching surrounding quotes.

tmux escapes option values and control-mode payloads the same way, but
only an option value can be quoted. A payload that happens to start and
end with a quote is data, so stripping stays with the caller that knows
which of the two it is holding.
