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

This is a new version that incorporates suggestions by Szabolcs Nagy and rofl0r

The previous version had a helper function named `decode1` that decoded
a single escape.   I implemented Szabolcs Nagy's extremely clever manual
inlining.  However, I'm not completely sure that it's not too clever for
me.  (It took me a while to understand why it works.)
