#47099: term_exists fail when term is surrounded with brackets

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Create a term. For example `test`.
 2. run `term_exists('[test]', $taxonomy)`

 Expected result: It should return `false`, because it is a different term

 Actual result: It returns the `test` term.

 This issue is related to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45333
 where there are more details around the discussions in regard to
 `term_exists` inconsistencies. Basically this function handles the term
 name string in a different way that `wp_insert_term()` does.

 If someone could review it and agree we should work on a fix for
 term_exists I could do this, writing also the related tests.

 Cheers.
