[Bug 1714701] [NEW] vim: syntax highlighting bug with NSIS scripts

[Vasya Pupkin]

Public bug reported:

NSIS scripts allow escaping single quotes, like this:

BrandingText 'Vasya V\' Pupkin'

Currently vim considers second single quote as closing and third as
opening, which break syntax highlighting in big scripts completely after
such lines.
