rev 12885 MetaDataSorter: use HideText to avoid issue with unbalanced brackets in comments

@Rjwilmsi - Rev 12885 doesn't seem to work with [[Corey Brunish]], which also has unbalanced brackets.

@GoingBatty I had to revert use of HideText as it caused multiple other problems. I resolved original issue by ignoring stuff in comments, I can't do that here.

It seems like an example of a fault in article that's easily resolved. The alternative I can think of is for AWB to refuse to do any sorting if there are unbalanced brackets in the zeroth section, do you think that is necessary?

@Rjwilmsi - My thought is "First, do no harm". The infobox in [[Corey Brunish]] displays properly, with an extra brace that's hard to see. AWB currently makes the issue much worse. I'd rather an AWB bot not break the infobox, and hope that someone using AWB manually would see the Unbalanced brackets alert and fix the minor issue.

rev 12940: MetaDataSorter: don't sort zeroth section if it has any unbalanced brackets, to avoid problems on articles with existing issues
