paste: avoid confusing backslash quoting in diagnostic
* src/paste.c (main): Setting the quoting style to "escape"
went against the intent of the comment about presenting
doubled backslashes to the user. Instead use "c-maybe"
which is the only mode which avoids doubled backslashes,
and provides protection against arbitrary control characters.
* tests/misc/paste.pl: Adjust accordingly.
