Andy Shevchenko 16c7fa0582 lib/string_helpers: introduce generic string_unescape
There are several places in kernel where modules unescapes input to convert
C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.

The patch provides generic implementation of such approach. Test cases are
also included into the patch.
