Subject: [PATCH] mntent: deal with escaped whitespace in mtab and fstab

>From glibc's documentation:

> Since fields in the mtab and fstab files are separated by whitespace,
> octal  escapes  are  used  to  represent  the characters space (\040),
> tab (\011), newline (\012), and backslash (\\) in those files when they
> occur  in  one  of  the  four strings  in  a  mntent  structure.  The
> routines addmntent() and getmntent() will convert from string
> representation to escaped representation and back.  When converting
> from  escaped  representation,  the sequence \134 is also converted to a
> backslash.

This fixes the issue reported in https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2021/12/14/1

Please pardon the previous broken patch that I tried to send directly
via gmail.

This is my first time contributing to musl.  Please point out any ways
to improve.  I probably got a few things wrong?

Thanks!

Addendum: this is a new version.  The first one did not copy the final
null-byte.
