[BUGFIX] Expression in like escape % and _

The Expression LIKE binary operator does not care about escape % and _ char.
No-one has already open an issue about it but in the OGC element PropertyIsLike the user can defined is own wild and single char. This mean that QGIS has to escape % and _ if they are not used as wild and single char.
