Sanitize metacharacters in test names

Description
(This is a follow-up to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12531)
If a name of a manually registered test contains one of the test filter metacharacters, it might lead to problems when it's passed via the --run_test command line argument. The list of characters which cause that problem includes at least ",*@+!/". I suggest sanitizing these characters similar to how ':' and ' ' are sanitized right now.

I think I will re-enable the spaces in the names, I believe it should not cause any issue with the command line.
