Removed escaping of `[' in collections

Not Posix compliant, not backwards compatible => Not a good idea.
IMHO.
Unless I'm misunderstanding, ZyX's patch is removing cases in the
runtime files where people have misused "[\[]", thinking that it would
only include '[' in the set of characters, not '[' and '\'.
There's no change to Vim functionality. But, this is widely misused (as
evidenced by the number of examples that appear to need to be fixed).
