The code that translates SIMILAR TO pattern matching expressions to POSIX-style regular expressions did not consider that square brackets can be nested. For example, in an expression like [[:alpha:]%_], the logic replaced the placeholders '_' and '%' but it should not. This commit fixes the conversion logic by tracking the nesting level of square brackets marking character class areas, while considering that in expressions like []] or [^]] the first closing square bracket is a regular character. Multiple tests are added to show how the conversions should or should not apply applied while in a character class area, with specific cases added for all the characters converted outside character classes like an opening parenthesis '(', dollar sign '$', etc. Author: Laurenz Albe <laurenz.albe@cybertec.at> Reviewed-by: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16ab039d1af455652bdf4173402ddda145f2c73b.camel@cybertec.at Backpatch-through: 13REL_15_STABLE
