The settings.gradle.kts.tmpl template for Android plugins was using single quotes for string literals. Kotlin requires double quotes (") for string literals, while single quotes (') are only valid for character literals. This was introduced when the file was renamed from settings.gradle to settings.gradle.kts in PR #173993, but the string format was not updated from Groovy style to Kotlin style.

This PR changes:

// Before (invalid Kotlin)
rootProject.name = '{{projectName}}'

// After (valid Kotlin)
rootProject.name = "{{projectName}}"

Fixes #182962

Pre-launch Checklist

This PR is test-exempt because it modifies a template file that generates valid Kotlin syntax. The fix is a single-character change from single quotes to double quotes, which is a syntactic correction that does not require behavioral testing.

If you need help, consider asking for advice on the #hackers-new channel on Discord.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!).
