lib / string_helpers: introduce string_escape_mem()
This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape(). Nevertheless
it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer.
The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype.
The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later
on.
