#40148: wptexturize does not handle mid-word italics properly

 When referring to the name of a publication, it is necessary to italicize
 the publication but not the possessive ending.

 This leads to wptexturize making the wrong assumption about whether to use
 a "left" or a "right" quote.

 Example post content:
 {{{
 the <em>Daily Mail</em>'s report
 }}}

 Current output:
 {{{
 the Daily Mail‘s report
 }}}

 Desired output:

 {{{
 the Daily Mail’s report
 }}}
