Subject: [PATCH] nvim: Improve mini.pairs triple mappings

Whenever there is a left-over quote (') or double quote ("), if we want
to 'close' it, mini.pairs will by default add a new pair (e.g. """)
instead. This simply changes it to close the pair. Makes some
'double-quote' pairings harder (e.g. we have a python dict: {"name"})
and want to add another {"name""value"} into it, but this happens
relatively rarely in my use cases. The first on the other hand happens
frequently enough to be an annoyance.

Additionally, did the same for back-ticks so we can more easily create
triple backticks ``` which are essential in many literate programming
markup languages (markdown, quarto, rmd and so on).
