Default velocity macros for Web Content Structure fields are syntactically incorrect.

LPS-66743 puts .vars[] into velocity macros, however that is valid only for Freemarker language.

The last good version is : 6.2.10-SP15 with portal-130.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Admin > Site Administration > Content > Web Content
2. Go to Manage > Structures and add a structure with, for example, a text field called Text1777, save
3. Associate a Velocity template to such structure
4. Call the text field by clicking on it on "Text" (left side) under "Fields"

   Expected

   Template editor to add $Text1777.getData()

   Actual behavior

   Such action will add $.vars['Text1777'].getData(), which looks like an incorrect Freemarker for $

   {.vars['Text1777'].getData()}

warning

It needs a full test for all the field types + switching on repeatable (and without repeatable)
So a deeper test:

1. create a web content structure with
   1. all the fields
   2. plus all the fields sets them to repeatable
2. create a velocity template for this
3. create a content with this structure
4. display the content in a Web Content Display portlet
5. check if everything works well
6. do the same with Freemarker Template
