Strings are not parsed correctly for custom properties which makes the
following CSS raise an `Unterminated string: ";"` error:
```css
:root {
--custom: 'data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==';
}
```
According to the spec, we should accept semi-colon as long as they are
not at the top level.
> The allowed syntax for [custom
properties](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-variables/#custom-property) is
extremely permissive. The <declaration-value> production matches any
sequence of one or more tokens, so long as the sequence does not contain
bad-string-token, bad-url-token, unmatched )-token, ]-token, or }-token,
or top-level semicolon-token tokens or delim-token tokens with a value
of "!".

I was only able to reproduce with **tailwindcss v4**, the previous
version seems to support this. This issue is mitigated by the fact that
even if you want to use a data URL in a custom property, you would need
to wrap the value in a `url()` anyway:
```css
:root {
--my-icon-url: url('data:image/svg+xml;base64,...==');
}
.icon {
background-image: var(--my-icon-url);
}
```
Which works perfectly fine with the current/latest version (v4.1.8).
The fix suggested is to share the same code between regular property and
custom property when it comes to detect that the value is a string
starting with a `SINGLE_QUOTE` or `DOUBLE_QUOTE`. I have moved the
existing code in a `findEndStringIdx` which returns the position of the
ending single/double quote.
