Item13278: Ensure regex defaults agree with cfg values

This fixes configure, but there are some operational issues. The NameFilter regex is passed verbatim to the NAMEFILTER variable in the DOM. core/pub/System/JavascriptFiles/foswikiWebTopicCreator_src.js then uses it to filter topic names. However the {NameFilter} regex saved by configure is incompatible with javascript, so the filter fails.
