Error description

• Image can not be uploaded to RTE if image name has special
  character ' (Apostrophe)...
  
  Exact steps to reproduce the issue as below :
  
  (1) create a content item of a type with a rich text field
  
  (2) click insert image .
  
  (3) browse to an image on the local filesystem with 'special'
  characters '(Apostrophe) in the filename (for example ,
  "special_char_'.jpeg")
  
  (4)upload & insert into the rich text editor
  
  (5) It shows "X" mark instead of Image.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Create new content using AT with Rich Text Editor
  In RTE, use Image Picker to upload a file with an apostrophe in
  the filename.
  Save the content item.
  Image doesn't appear; instead just the red X indicating image
  file not found.
  

Problem conclusion

• In ImagePickerFormView.escapeApos(), we correctly replace the
  apostrophe with %27. However, later, in
  LaunchImagePickerDialogCommand.dialogFinished(), we replace the
  % symbol with %25. The net result is that the apostrophe in the
  filename is replaced with the nonsense string %2527.
  
  
  
  Fix was to move the code that replaces % with %25 to
  ImagePickerFormView, immediately preceding the code to replace
  apostrophe with %27.
