The existing YAML Output::scalarString code path includes a partial and
incorrect implementation of YAML escaping logic. In particular, the logic put
in place in rL321283 escapes non-printable bytes only if they are not part of a
multibyte UTF8 sequence; implicitly this means that all multibyte UTF8
sequences -- printable and non -- are passed through verbatim.
The simplest solution to this is to direct the Output::scalarString method to
use the standalone yaml::escape function, and this _almost_ works, except that
the existing code in that function _over_ escapes: any multibyte UTF8 sequence
is escaped, even printable ones. While this is permitted for YAML, it is also
more aggressive (and hard to read for non-English locales) than necessary,
and the entire point of rL321283 was to back off such aggressive over-escaping.
So in this change, I have both redirected Output::scalarString to use
yaml::escape _and_ modified yaml::escape to optionally restrict its escaping to
non-printables. This preserves behaviour of any existing clients while giving
them a path to more moderate escaping should they desire.
