Item14757: indirect " Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated"

In two places, ActionTrackerPlugin calls Foswiki::Func::searchInWebContent() with a regex that contains an unescaped left brace. This is my fix:

I should add that this is the somewhat obscure error message I see in the Apache log:

Feel free to create a new release and upload it to the Extensions web.
