[PATCH v3 2/3] lib/string_helpers.c: Refactor string_escape_mem

[Rasmus Villemoes]

When printf is given the format specifier %pE, it needs a way of
obtaining the total output size that would be generated if the buffer
was large enough, and string_escape_mem doesn't easily provide
that. This is a refactorization of string_escape_mem in preparation of
changing its external API to provide that information.

The somewhat ugly 'goto skip;'s and subsequent seemingly redundant
conditionals are to make the following patch touch as little as
possible in string_helpers.c while still preserving the current
behaviour of never outputting partial escape sequences. That behaviour
must also change for %pE to work as one expects from every other
printf specifier.
