Template function quote doesn't work for pointers

[KapJI]

Describe the bug

quote, squote and quoteList return quoted pointer value instead of quoted string this pointer points to.

To reproduce

{{- $release := (gitHubLatestRelease "sharkdp/bat").Assets | first -}}
Name: {{ $release.Name }}
Name quote: {{ $release.Name | quote }}
Name quoteList: {{ list $release.Name | quoteList }}
Name type: {{ $release.Name | kindOf }}

Prints:

Name: bat-musl_0.24.0_amd64.deb
Name quoted: '0xc000a841b0'
Name quoteList: ["0xc00078ad80"]
Name type: ptr

Expected behavior

{{ $ptr | quote }} returns quoted {{ $ptr }}. In the meantime "{{ $ptr}}" can be used as a replacement.

Additional context

I know that quote is coming from sprig, quoteList is first party though. sprig is not very well supported and this behaviour can be very confusing for chezmoi users. I guess that's one more reason to replace sprig with something better like proposed in #2668

I have confirmed this. This won't be easy to resolve (there are a number of places where this would need changing, and fixing it would likely require the use of a sprig fork), but even piping through toString fails. This, at a minimum, should be shored up to convert *string to string so that even if something like $ptr | quote won't work because of the difficulties involved, $ptr | toString | quote or list $ptr | toStrings | quoteList absolutely work.

Thanks for reporting this. #4007 should fix it for quote and quoteList at least. sprig's implementation of squote is hilariously broken, so I don't propose to attempt to fix this.
