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

More precisely, it's up to the program that receives the (expanded) argument, in this case `ls` gets the literal `foo\[bar\]`. Then it's up to the program to decide what to do next with it. However, I suppose, in most cases it doesn't make sense for a program to apply such escapes itself, at least not for a program that provides a shell CLI and operates on file system paths. I think our spec parser falls into the same category and therefore should behave the same.
