Fixed vB4 Import: Use PLAIN BB Code to escape partial BB Code in titles

[Steffen]

If a post title contains partial BB Code like "[S]" ("S" standing for "Suche" / "Searching" in a marketplace forum) then prepending the post title to the post message causes the whole message to be striked-through because XenForo auto-closes BB Code tags.

One possible solution could be to wrap the post title with the "PLAIN" BB Code:

diff --git a/src/addons/XFI/Import/Importer/vBulletin.php b/src/addons/XFI/Import/Importer/vBulletin.php

+                    if (strpos($title, '[') !== false)
+                    {
+                        $title = '[PLAIN]' . $title . '[/PLAIN]';
+                    }
                     $message = "[b]{$title}[/b]\n\n" . ltrim($message);
                 }
             }

Seems like a good idea.
