Synchronize colon predecessor sets

When ALLOWED_PREV_CHARS permits ], }, ), and > before :name, the parser emits an inline component. The stringifier's COLON_PREV_CHARS omits these characters, so literal text such as word]:name can serialize without escaping and reparse as a component. Add the four characters to COLON_PREV_CHARS so literal text round-trips.

COLON_PREV_CHARS to include ], }, ), and >, matching ALLOWED_PREV_CHARS so
literal text before colon-prefixed names is escaped consistently and round-trips
without reparsing as an inline component.
