[3.12] gh-107715: Escape class name in regular expression (GH-107716) (#107726)
* gh-107715: Escape class name in regular expression (GH-107716)
This patch escapes the class name before embedding it in the regular expression
for `pat` in `doctest.DocTestFinder._find_lineno`. While class names do not
ordinarily contain special characters, it is possible to encounter these when a
class is created dynamically. Escaping the name will correctly return `None` in
this scenario, rather than potentially matching a different class or raising
`re.error` depending on the symbols used.
