lib/vsprintf: add %*pE[achnops] format specifier

This allows user to print a given buffer as an escaped string.  The
rules are applied according to an optional mix of flags provided by
additional format letters.

For example, if the given buffer is:

    1b 62 20 5c 43 07 22 90 0d 5d

The result strings would be:
    %*pE            "\eb \C\a"\220\r]"
    %*pEhp          "\x1bb \C\x07"\x90\x0d]"
    %*pEa           "\e\142\040\\\103\a\042\220\r\135"

Please, read Documentation/printk-formats.txt and lib/string_helpers.c
kernel documentation to get further information.

+
+       few examples show how the conversion would be done (the result string
+       without surrounding quotes):
+
+               %*pE            "\eb \C\a"\220\r]"

+
+       The conversion rules are applied according to an optional combination
+       of flags (see string_escape_mem() kernel documentation for the
+       details):
+               a - ESCAPE_ANY
+               c - ESCAPE_SPECIAL
+               h - ESCAPE_HEX

+               p - ESCAPE_NP
+               s - ESCAPE_SPACE
+       By default ESCAPE_ANY_NP is used.
+
+       ESCAPE_ANY_NP is the sane choice for many cases, in particularly for
+       printing SSIDs.
+
+       If field width is omitted the 1 byte only will be escaped.
