Correct rule 941310 to use single-byte variants and fix FPs (#1596)

* Fix test to use the single byte characters

Add a test that uses utf-8 as well.

* Change pattern to use the single-byte variants

Patterns in ModSecurity are not treated as UTF strings.
Fixes #1595.

* Add negative tests and update descriptions

* Improve pattern

Change it to avoid FPs for \xbc\xbc and \xbe\xbe (i.e. << and >>).
Use negated classes for better performance.
