util: Add shell_escape
This is for shell-style \ escaping rather than quoting, which while it has the same effect in produced shell commands, is not exclusively useful for shell commands. shell_escape would be useful for producing sed commands, as you would be able to \ escape the normal special characters, plus whichever argument separator was chosen; or it could be used to escape arguments passed to the overlayfs mount command.
