[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit v3 6/6] server: debug: Escape debug strings
Debug strings contain all kinds of information including some under
user control. Previously we simply sent everything to stderr, but
this is potentially insecure, as well as not dealing well with
non-printable characters. Escape these strings when printing.
