tests: fix unportable "\?" and "\+" regex syntax
Fix widely supported but non-POSIX basic regex syntax introduced in
[1] and [2]. On GNU, NetBSD and FreeBSD the following works:
$ echo xy >f
$ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $?
xy
0
The same goes for "\+". The "?" and "+" syntax is not in the BRE
syntax, just in ERE, but on some implementations it can be invoked by
prefixing the meta-operator with "\", but not on OpenBSD:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD obsd.my.domain 6.2 GENERIC#132 amd64
$ grep --version
grep version 0.9
$ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $?
1
Let's fix this by moving to ERE syntax instead, where "?" and "+" are
universally supported:
$ grep -E 'xy?' f; echo $?
xy
0
