[IR] Properly handle escape characters in Attribute::getAsString()

If an attribute name has special characters such as '\01', it is not
properly printed in LLVM assembly language format.  Since the format
expects the special characters are printed as it is, it has to contain
escape characters to make it printable.

Before:
  attributes #0 = { ... "counting-function"="^A__gnu_mcount_nc" ...

After:
  attributes #0 = { ... "counting-function"="\01__gnu_mcount_nc" ...
