wildmatch: avoid using of the comma operator

The comma operator is a somewhat obscure C feature that is often used by
mistake and can even cause unintentional code flow. That is why the
`-Wcomma` option of clang was introduced: To identify unintentional uses
of the comma operator.

In this instance, the usage is intentional because it allows storing the
value of the current character as `prev_ch` before making the next
character the current one, all of which happens in the loop condition
that lets the loop stop at a closing bracket.

However, it is hard to read.

The chosen alternative to using the comma operator is to move those
assignments from the condition into the loop body; In this particular
case that requires special care because the loop body contains a
`continue` for the case where a character class is found that starts
with `[:` but does not end in `:]` (and the assignments should occur
even when that code path is taken), which needs to be turned into a
`goto`.
