## Summary
Fixes#20774 by tracking whether an `InterpolatedStringState` element is
nested inside of another interpolated element. This feels like kind of a
naive fix, so I'm welcome to other ideas. But it resolves the problem in
the issue and clears up the syntax error in the black compatibility
test, without affecting many other cases.
The other affected case is actually interesting too because the
[input](96b156303b/crates/ruff_python_formatter/resources/test/fixtures/ruff/expression/fstring.py (L707))
is invalid, but the previous quote selection fixed the invalid syntax:
```pycon
Python 3.11.13 (main, Sep 2 2025, 14:20:25) [Clang 20.1.4 ] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f'{1: abcd "{'aa'}" }' # input
File "<stdin>", line 1
f'{1: abcd "{'aa'}" }'
^^
SyntaxError: f-string: expecting '}'
>>> f'{1: abcd "{"aa"}" }' # old output
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Invalid format specifier ' abcd "aa" ' for object of type 'int'
>>> f'{1: abcd "{'aa'}" }' # new output
File "<stdin>", line 1
f'{1: abcd "{'aa'}" }'
^^
SyntaxError: f-string: expecting '}'
```
We now preserve the invalid syntax in the input.
Unfortunately, this also seems to be another edge case I didn't consider
in https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/20867 because we don't flag
this as a syntax error after 0.14.1:

I assumed that was the same `ParseError` as the one caused by
`f"{1:""}"`, but this is a nested interpolation inside of the format
spec.
## Test Plan
New test copied from the black compatibility test. I guess this is a
duplicate now, I started working on this branch before the new black
tests were imported, so I could delete the separate test in our fixtures
if that's preferable.
