As noted in testssl#2304, the way that the '&' character is treated in the string part of a pattern substitution changed in Bash 5.2. As a result, the change that was made in testssl#1481 to accommodate older versions of Bash (e.g., on MacOS) now causes testssl.sh to produce incorrect HTML output when run on Bash 5.2. This commit encodes the '&' characters in the substitution strings in a way that produces correct results on multiple versions of Bash (3.2 on MacOS, 5.2 on Ubuntu 23.10, 5.0 on Ubuntu 20.04).
