lib/string_helpers: introduce generic string_unescape

Browse source 
There are several places in kernel where modules unescapes input to convert
C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.

The patch provides generic implementation of such approach. Test cases are
also included into the patch.

* string_unescape - unquote characters in the given string
* @src: source buffer (escaped)
* @dst: destination buffer (unescaped)
* @size: size of the destination buffer (0 to unlimit)
* @flags: combination of the flags (bitwise OR):
* %UNESCAPE_SPACE:
* '\f' - form feed
* '\n' - new line
* '\r' - carriage return
* '\t' - horizontal tab
* '\v' - vertical tab
* %UNESCAPE_OCTAL:
* '\NNN' - byte with octal value NNN (1 to 3 digits)
* %UNESCAPE_HEX:
* '\xHH' - byte with hexadecimal value HH (1 to 2 digits)
* %UNESCAPE_SPECIAL:
* '\"' - double quote
* '\\' - backslash
* '\a' - alert (BEL)
* '\e' - escape
* %UNESCAPE_ANY:
* all previous together
*
* Returns amount of characters processed to the destination buffer excluding
* trailing '\0'.
*
* Because the size of the output will be the same as or less than the size of
* the input, the transformation may be performed in place.
*
* Caller must provide valid source and destination pointers. Be aware that
* destination buffer will always be NULL-terminated. Source string must be
* NULL-terminated as well.
