kconfig: fix update-po-config to accect backslash in input
Massimo Maiurana reported (slightly edited):
=====
In latest 2.6.29 "make update-po-config" fails at msguniq invocation
with an "invalid control sequence" error.
The offending string is the following, and it's located in
drivers/staging/panel/Kconfig:72:
"'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The"
looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in
this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise
it as a valid one.
A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically
escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that
msguniq would not complain.
=====
This patch implements the suggested escaping.
