[OE-core] [PATCH 1/4] classes/package_rpm: handle square brackets in filenames

[Paul Eggleton]

When constructing a spec file we list files and directory paths in the
%files section. If ] or [ characters are in a file or directory name,
rpm treats them as wildcards which will mean it won't properly match the
filename. Instead, transform these into an ? wildcard so they don't
cause a problem.

(This fixes packaging the npm package "file-set" and anything that
happens to depend upon it, since it includes tests with files that
contain unusual characters including ] and [).
