This pull request fixes #3092

Description

This PR addresses an issue where the OData URI parser throws an ArgumentNullException when encountering a list with empty string in square brackets.

For example, the following query will throw an ArgumentNullException:

• /People?$filter=Name in ['']
• /People?$filter=Name in [ ' ' ]
• /People?$filter=Name in [ \"\", ' ' ]
• /People?$filter=Name in [ \"\", '' ]
• /People?$filter=Name in [\"\"]
• /People?$filter=Name in [ \"\", \" \" ]
• /People?$filter=Name in [ \"\" ]
• /People?$filter=Name in [ '' , ' ' ]

Change

This change ensures the square brackets are handle the same way as parentheses when constructing CollectionNode in GetCollectionOperandFromToken method. This method calls the following methods to handle Single and Double quotes:

• ProcessSingleQuotedStringItem is called to handle single-quoted string items within a collection. This method converts single-quoted strings to double-quoted strings, ensuring compatibility with JSON format. It manages the escaping of single quotes by unescaping double single quotes and escaping double quotes. For example, it converts ''' to "" and 'ghi''' to "ghi'"
• ProcessDoubleQuotedStringItem is then called to process double-quoted string items within a collection. This method ensures that the string is properly escaped for JSON format, handling the escaping of double quotes and backslashes. For example, it converts "" to "" to avoid passing an empty string to the ConstantNode.
