Sylvestre Ledru 1a3e8a391d grep: reject confusing [:name:] bracket syntax like GNU
GNU grep flags a bracket expression of the form [:name:] (an almost
certain misspelling of [[:name:]]) with a dedicated diagnostic and exit
code 2, whereas oniguruma silently treats it as the character set
{':','n','a','m','e'}. Port GNU's colon_warning_state logic from
parse_bracket_exp (gnulib dfa.c) so basic/extended patterns produce the
same error. Fixes the GNU testsuite 'warn-char-classes' test.
