[PATCH 4/5] batctl: genl_json: escape non-printable characters as valid JSON

[Sven Eckelmann]

sanitize_string() emits non-printable bytes as \xNN inside JSON string
values. JSON only allows the escape sequences \" \\ \/ \b \f \n \r \t and
\uXXXX. The latter is the correct option for printing arbitrary character
values.
