In org.gjt.sp.jedit.TextUtilities.findMatchingBracket gets a lot of stuff done, even when the current char is no bracket at all.

The patch is quite simple. If "c" is no bracket, return -1 straight away: this way a lot of token handling can get avoided - we would not find a matching bracket anyway.
