vim-patch:c68e64d: runtime(sh): fix spurious nextgroup=shComment on shEscape

Remove `nextgroup=shComment` from the `shEscape` syntax pattern.
This was causing `#` characters after escape sequences inside
double-quoted strings to be misinterpreted as comments, breaking
highlighting for the rest of the file.

Add a test case for escaped characters followed by # in double quotes.

fixes:  vim/vim#19053
closes: vim/vim#19414
