      Current behaviour:
      Feedback module replaces some symbols such as & and " with their HTML entities in forms of responses.

      More details in the reproduction steps below.

      Desired behaviour:
      Users should not deal with HTML entities if they don't want to. Saving a form without any changes made must not change the data.

      Steps:

      1. Create a not anonymous feedback activity, allow multiple submissions (the problem presents in all kinds of Feedback activity, but this combination of settings shows more interfaces with the problem).
      2. Create questions of 'short text' and 'longer text' types.
      3. (student) Fill in and send the report form.
      4. Open response list.
      5. Open the response in the list. SEE THE PROBLEM
      6. (student) Go to the Feedback and press 'Answer the questions' button again. SEE THE PROBLEM
      7. (student) Don't change anything and press 'Submit your answers'.
      8. Open response list. SEE THE PROBLEM

      A response example:
      This is "longer" feedback & the ampersand
      This is "short" feedback & the ampersand
