[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Shell-like escaping support in %files (PR #1903)

I actually lean towards this being taken literally, because that's what the (new) quotation semantics will be. It's also how e.g. `bash` does it:
```
$ touch "foo[bar]" fooa foob foor
$ ls foo[bar]
fooa  foob  foor
$ ls "foo[bar]"
'foo[bar]'
$ ls "foo\[bar\]"
ls: cannot access 'foo\[bar\]': No such file or directory
```
