[shell-script-mode]: should insert two spaces between []

[Frank Küster]

Hi Emacs team,

In shell-script-mode, pressing `[' inserts `[]' (when skeleton-pair is
set to t) and places point between the brackets.  When you carry on
typing, too easily you end up with something like

[ -f "$somefile"]

which gives a syntax error, because a space is missing before the
closing ].  This could be resolved by inserting `[  ]' instead, and
placing point between the two inserted spaces.

TIA, Frank

I will fix this in the development sources.
