Less m/{}/ Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here warnings

[rurban]

automake and more widespread utils does not need to be plagued by spurious "Unescaped left brace in regex" warnings, when they don't need to be quoted. The few cases where { is used for a special unicode group can be easily detected in regcomp.

perlre.pod: (If a curly bracket occurs in any other context and does not form part of a backslashed sequence like "\x{...}", it is treated as a regular character. However, a deprecation warning is raised for all such occurrences, and in Perl v5.26, literal uses of a curly bracket will be required to be escaped, say by preceding them with a backslash ("{") or enclosing them within square brackets ("[{]"). This change will allow for future syntax extensions (like making the lower bound of a quantifier optional), and better error checking of quantifiers.)

perldiag.pod:

   Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in
    Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
    (D deprecated, regexp) The simple rule to remember, if you want to
    match a literal "{" character (U+007B "LEFT CURLY BRACKET") in a
    regular expression pattern, is to escape each literal instance of it
    in some way. Generally easiest is to precede it with a backslash, like
    "\{" or enclose it in square brackets ("[{]"). If the pattern
    delimiters are also braces, any matching right brace ("}") should also
    be escaped to avoid confusing the parser, for example,

     qr{abc\{def\}ghi}

    Forcing literal "{" characters to be escaped will enable the Perl
    language to be extended in various ways in future releases. To avoid
    needlessly breaking existing code, the restriction is is not enforced
    in contexts where there are unlikely to ever be extensions that could
    conflict with the use there of "{" as a literal.

    In this release of Perl, some literal uses of "{" are fatal, and some
    still just deprecated. This is because of an oversight: some uses of a
    literal "{" that should have raised a deprecation warning starting in
    v5.20 did not warn until v5.26. By making the already-warned uses
    fatal now, some of the planned extensions can be made to the language
    sooner. The cases which are still allowed will be fatal in Perl 5.30.

    The contexts where no warnings or errors are raised are:

    *   as the first character in a pattern, or following "^" indicating
        to anchor the match to the beginning of a line.

    *   as the first character following a "|" indicating alternation.

    *   as the first character in a parenthesized grouping like

         /foo({bar)/
         /foo(?:{bar)/

    *   as the first character following a quantifier

         /\s*{/

Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/

For the proposed extensions: optional lower bound of a quantifier {,\d}, and better error checking of quantifiers we need {, or {\d, not justifying punishing all old usages of hash{key}, esp. since those keys are not literal numbers or commas.

Note that p5p decided on the opposite, to make these harmful unnecessary warnings even fatal with 5.30.

Merged into v5.29.0c, should be backported to v5.28.1c too
