add_test: Revert "Allow special characters in test name"
Revert commit f84af8e270 (add_test: Allow special characters in test name, 2020-05-16, v3.18.0-rc1~142^2). Unfortunately the fix breaks projects that were working around the limitation with manual escaping. The fix can be re-introduced with a policy in a future version. Also add a 3.18.1 release note explaining the change. Fixes: #21017, #20965 Issue: #19391
