Tests: Improve coverage for File::get_csv_line()

Adds a few more complex edge cases which are supported.

Also adds some documentation, simplifies the code a bit and forbids using
double quotes as a delimiter.

The third line must use [code]""[/code] for each quotation mark that needs to be interpreted as such instead of the end of a text value.
