editor: Fix auto-closing quotes after word character (#26803)

Closes #14349

When typing quotes immediately after a word character, it resulted in
auto-closing the quote.

```js
const thing = this is text^;
```

Typing a quote resulted in `this is text""^;` which is not correct, and
should be `this is text"^;`.

This PR changes logic for auto close:

1. We now prevent auto-closing in case of brackets where start == end
when they're typed immediately after a word character. i.e. For, ``` `,
", ' ```.
2. Other bracket pairs like `{}, (), etc` continue to auto-close
regardless of preceding character. So, `func^` to `func()^` will keep
working.
3. Auto-closing in other contexts like after spaces, punctuation, etc.
will still work.

Release Notes:

- Fixed auto-paired quotes being inserted when typing a quote
immediately next to a word character.
