Fixes #17465.
parse_test_data()unescapes lines that begin with\[so they can be treated as source text rather than.testsection headers. When--update-datarewrites a test case, it was writing the parsed source line back directly, so an escaped line such as\[mypy]became[mypy]and could be parsed as a new section on the next run.This keeps updated source lines escaped when they would otherwise look like section headers after being written back. It covers both unchanged lines in
[file ...]sections and source lines that gain an inline# E:comment ending with an error code.Validation:
