Description

I feel like this change from v6 is very odd.

I prefer when string were displayed with quotes around them, not only when editing the value.

It make empty string appear bugged, because it displays nothing.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the string display behavior in Vue Devtools v6 and trace where inspected values are rendered. Confirm how non-empty and empty strings appear, then update the display so both retain visible quotes and verify the result in the relevant Devtools interface.
