bug#37073: 26.2.90; query-replace-regexp undo feature missing quote the regexps

[Tino Calancha]

Tags: patch

That causes the undo feature to fail if the replacement contains special 
characters.

emacs -Q

C-x b *foo* RET
M-: (insert "theorem 1\ntheorem 2\ntheorem 3") RET
M-<
M-C-%
theorem \([0-9]+\) RET
\,(format "theorem \\ref{theo_%s}" \1) RET
SPC
SPC
u
q

;; Buffer *foo* now contains:
theorem 1ref{theo_1}
theorem 2ref{theo_2}
theorem 3

;; Expected:
theorem 1
theorem 2
theorem 3
