To report invalid characters in identifiers, it is desirable to escape any
weird characters. Otherwise we might print stray newlines or control characters
in the log output.
ctrl_test.c already uses a print_escaped() function, which will be replaced by
osmo_escape_str() in a subsequent patch.
control_cmd.c will use osmo_escape_str() to log invalid identifiers.

Sounds stupid, but we actually didn't support hex nibbles in one of
the two directions of the conversion, so let's make sure we test for
this.

This is particularly useful for hex dumps containing spaces found in a log
(e.g. osmo-nitb authentication rand token), which can now be passed in quotes
to osmo-auc-gen without having to edit the spaces away.

For some reason the structure is closer to be a LV (length
and value). The value is actually a tag but it is counted
inside the length. Introduce an overload of the parse function
to provide an offset for the length. This will be taken from
the returned length.
In the osmo-bts and libosmo-abis code the hexdump routine is used
for every incoming/outgoing packet (including voice frames) and the
usage of snprintf showed up inside profiles.
There is a semantic change when more than 4096 characters are used.
The code will now truncate at byte boundaries (and not nibbles).
Code:
static const int lengths[] = { 23, 1000, 52 };
char buf[4096];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 30000; ++i)
char *res = osmo_hexdump(buf, lengths[i & 3]);
Results:
before: after:
real 0m3.233s real 0m0.085s
user 0m3.212s user 0m0.084s
sys 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s
