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.
