Make brackets part of the clickable link for comments about tatoeba2 HOT 5 CLOSED

I suggest we make it so that the brackets are not needed in the first place.

Whichever we do, we should make sure that it works the same way in Wall comments and sentence comments. Currently, "[#1]" turns into a link in a sentence comment, but not in a Wall comment.

Also, it would be good to have a way to escape the functionality so that we can print "#1" literally, if desired.

Finally, we should make sure that bare "#1" does not get messed up when it's contained by a URL.

I made the brackets not needed anymore.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but now all the existing links with brackets are now showing brackets. That is, previously written [#1234] is now displayed as [#1234]. We should fix the existing messages in the database.

Regarding messages using the old syntax, it's not a critical problem, I think, since the messages that use [#123] instead of just #123 will still generate a link.

I don't think there's anything in mysql to replace \[#(\d+)\] by #$1. You can only replace exact strings, not patterns. It may not really be worth spending time on fixing the database for this.
