Remove preg_quote() call from CI_User_agent::_set_browser() and add another pattern for Opera
Input comes from a configuration file that is barely touched by anyone
and the default values only contain letters, so it is safe to not
quote them.
This enables us to add a more advanced pattern in config/user_agents.php
for Opera 10+, which ... quote:
Opera/9.80 is hard coded at the beginning of the user agent string because of broken browser sniffing scripts which detect 'Opera/10' and above as Opera 1.
(reference: http://my.opera.com/community/openweb/idopera/)
Instead, latests versions of Opera append ' Version/<version number>'
to the end of the user agent string.
Fixes issue #555 (incorrect browser detection for Opera)

- Fixed a bug (#2762) - :doc:`Hooks Class <general/hooks>` didn't properly check if the called class/function exists.
- Fixed a bug (#148) - while sanitizing input data, ``CI_Input::_clean_input_data()`` assumed that it is URL-encoded, stripping certain character sequences from it.
- Fixed a bug (#346) - with ``$config['global_xss_filtering']`` turned on, the ``$_GET``, ``$_POST``, ``$_COOKIE`` and ``$_SERVER`` superglobals were overwritten during initialization time, resulting in XSS filtering being either performed twice or there was no possible way to get the original data, even though options for this do exist.
+- Fixed an edge case (#555) - incorrect browser version was reported for Opera 10+ due to a non-standard user-agent string.
