[PATCH] regex: Add extra escapes to regular expressions in m4

[Siddhesh Poyarekar]

From: Siddhesh Poyarekar <address@hidden>

        * m4/regex.m4 (gl_REGEX): Add extra escape characters to
        regular expressions.
---

The m4 preprocessor eats up half the escape characters, so give it twice
as much.  I ran into this when running tests for glibc 2.29 release and
verified that this patch fixes the problem.
