Problem/Motivation

Hi there, and thanks for a great module.

I am setting up a token replacement pattern with a fallback support. For the fallback support, I am using token_or module. token_or, for a fallback string, requires (literal) double quotes, which are unfortunately escaped via HTML::escape, automatically applied on @placeholder. Whether this is the only conflicting module is yet to be determined but the

Steps to reproduce

- enable auto_entitylabel and token_or modules
- create auto_entitylabel token pattern and utilize token_or fallback string, ex. [node:tags|"Tag"]
- see that if field tags don't have a value, the token will result in an empty string. Expacted output is "Tag".

unfortunately escaped via HTML::escape

From my cursory search through the code, I have not found where this occurs.

On the token/decode side, the code in question appears to be in the generateLabel() method within src/AutoEntityLabelManager.php. 

    $output = $this->token->replace($pattern,
      [$entity_type => $entity],
      ['clear' => TRUE],
      $metadata
    );

    // Decode HTML entities, returning them to their original UTF-8 characters.
    $output = Html::decodeEntities($output);

One possible solution would be to execute decodeEntities before the token replacement.
