Description

When using the Env class to update variable values a ' is incorrectly escaped which then breaks the whole site with a HTTP 500 error.

Steps To Reproduce

Use Env::writeVariable to update a variable. The new value should include a ', e.g.:

\Illuminate\Support\Env::writeVariable("APP_NAME", "Boy132's Panel", base_path('.env'), true);

Now the .env file will contain:

APP_NAME="Boy132\'s Panel"

The ' has been escaped with an \ which is incorrect in this case.

Correct would be:

APP_NAME="Boy132's Panel"
