patch 9.2.0729: % skips parens on continued quoted lines

patch 9.2.0729: % skips parens on continued quoted lines

Problem: The "%" command and bracket/text-object motions can skip the
matching paren or bracket on a line with quotes and a trailing
backslash.
Solution: Use the quote state at the search start when an odd-quote line
is continued with a backslash, instead of always treating the
search as starting in quotes (Barrett Ruth).
