[PATCH 3/6] lib80211: re-use string_escape_mem_any_np()

In kernel we have function to escape a given string. Let's use it instead of
custom approach.

This fixes a bug. 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 the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their alphabetic
representation. It's safe to do since the print_ssid() is currently used for
messaging only.
