rvinterf: begin change to backslash escape output format Right now throughout the rvinterf suite, any time we emit output that is expected to be ASCII, but may contain non-printable garbage, we use 'cat -v' form of garbage character representation. Unfortunately, this transformation is lossy (can't be reversed 100% reliably in the user's wetware), hence we would like to migrate to C-style backslash escapes, including doubling of any already-present backslashes - this escape mechanism is lossless. Begin this change by converting the output of RV and L1 traces in rvinterf and rvtdump.

/*
 * The interactive command entry (editing) function in libcommon
 * will call mygetchar() for its character input.  It is supposed
 * to be a blocking wait for input, but in some programs other
 * processing can be done while waiting - for example, check for
 * keypad presses as well.  This is the basic version which waits
 * for serial input and nothing else - specific programs can
 * override it if necessary, but this library version is the default.
