From: JuanJo Ciarlante <jjo@canonical.com>
Subject: fix _quote_readline_by_ref to:
 - avoid escaping 1st '~' (lp: #1288314)
 - avoid quoting if empty, else expansion without args only shows dirs
   (lp: #1288031)
 - replace double escaping to single (eg for completing file/paths with
   spaces)

Subject: Revert "double escaping" hunk of patch.
 - That portion fixed no cited bug.
 - It broke extremely common command-substitution cases, e.g.
     "grep pattern $(<TAB>)", producing:
     bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'
     bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file
