Escape special/non-printing characters in debug output (RHBZ#731744).

output directly to stderr.  However if the output contains
non-printable characters such as terminal control codes then these
would also be sent directly.

With newer SeaBIOS there is a lame attempt to implement a splash
screen using terminal control codes, thus when libguestfs tries to
display debugging output it would cause the screen to clear and debug
output to be lost.

This commit causes all non-printing characters to be escaped.
(\n and \r characters from the appliance are treated somewhat
specially).

Furthermore, instead of using write(2), use buffered stderr calls.

Richard W.M. Jones [Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:12:52 +0000 (11:12 +0100)]
perl: Fix CCFLAGS for Perl 5.14.

A change to ExtUtils::CBuilder in Perl 5.14 causes CCFLAGS to
completely replace, rather than appending, the C flags.

The unfortunate consequence of this is that vital flags such as
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 are missing.  For 32 bit code, this means you
get binary-incompatible code that completely fails to load.

For further analysis see:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2011/04/msg171535.html

This commit changes CCFLAGS so that it appends to the existing
$Config{ccflags} instead of replacing it.  On earlier versions of Perl
this means we get two copies of the flags, which is unfortunate but
should be safe.
