rvinterf: begin change to backslash escape output format
Right now throughout the rvinterf suite, any time we emit output that
is expected to be ASCII, but may contain non-printable garbage, we use
'cat -v' form of garbage character representation. Unfortunately, this
transformation is lossy (can't be reversed 100% reliably in the user's
wetware), hence we would like to migrate to C-style backslash escapes,
including doubling of any already-present backslashes - this escape
mechanism is lossless. Begin this change by converting the output
of RV and L1 traces in rvinterf and rvtdump.

The library built in this directory is a host side library, not for the target. This library implements some functions for handling packet exchanges with GPF, and it will be linked by some of the programs in the rvinterf suite. It needs to be noted that the RVTMUX channel belonging to GPF was named RVT_L23_HEADER by TI, and as a result, I thought that these packets related specifically to the higher layers of the protocol stack. But now we know that hierarchically speaking, GPF sits *below* L1, not above, and GPF packets should not be automatically associated with G23. This realization was made fairly late, thus "g23" appears in a bunch of function names, and in the name of this library.
