[PATCH iproute2 1/2] utils: add print_escape_buf to format and print arbitrary bytes

[Ivan Delalande <colona@arista.com>]

Keep it as simple as possible for now: just escape anything that is not
isprint-able, is among the "escape" parameter or '\' as an octal escape
sequence. This should be pretty easy to extend if any other user needs
something more complex in the future.
