Allow regex special characters in tagstrings.

Fixes the following crashes:
1. tag completion with regex special chars
:search tag:[<tab>

2. Changing tag representation of an (existing) tag with regex special
chars:
[tags]
    [[my**tag]]
        normal = '','', 'white','light red', 'white','#d66'

3. Contact completion with regex special chars and no external command:
To:**foo<tab>
