echo, printf: interpret \e as the Escape character
Match gcc, perl, bash, ksh, tcsh, ... in supporting \e.
* src/printf.c (print_escape_char): Output \x1B when \e encountered.
* src/echo.c (main): Likewise.
* src/stat.c (print_escape_char): Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Add \e to the list.
* tests/misc/printf: Verify that \e outputs \x1B.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.
