Add javaScriptEscape attribute to propertyTag
---------------------------------------------

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2555
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: New Feature

Currently if you want to use a property value in a piece of javascript you have 
to take care of escaping special characters such as \r \n \t , single quotes 
etc yourself. Otherwise you might end up with unclosed string literals etc. The 
way we solved this in out application is to wrap  the output of a struts 
property within the body of another tag that does the escaping. eg:

alert('<lib:javaScriptEscape><s:property value="myProperty" 
javaScriptEscape="true" /></lib:javaScriptEscape>');

This works well but is somewhat verbose. It would be very convenient if  
s:property would have a javaScriptEscape attribute to acomplish the same task. 
eg :

alert('<s:property value="myProperty" javaScriptEscape="true" />');
