ETag value does not meet HTTP spec

Description

The HTTP spec says that ETag values should be quoted either as "etag" or W/"etag". The current implementation (in modules django.middleware.common and django.utils.cache) do not quote these.

The code would therefore change as follows:

etag = md5.new(response.content).hexdigest()

etag = '"%s"' % md5.new(response.content).hexdigest()
