Use escaped double quotes in npm scripts for Windows compatibility

Browse source 
Single quotes in `concurrently` commands work on Unix shells but not on
Windows Command Shell (`cmd.exe`), causing the `INPUT` environment
variable to not be set and npm scripts to fail with errors like:

    'cross-env' is not recognized as an internal or external command
    Error: INPUT environment variable is not set

Replace single quotes with escaped double quotes (`\"`) in npm scripts
in all example `package.json` files.
