[PATCH v3 08/11] lib80211: remove unused print_ssid()

In kernel we have %*pE specifier to print an escaped buffer. All users now
switched to that approach.

This fixes a bug as well. The current implementation wrongly prints octal
numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are required and the
rest of the string ends up cut off.

Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their alphabetic
representation. It's safe to do since it is currently used for messaging only.
