options: parse C-style escapes for some options

Being able to insert newline characters ("\n") is useful for
--osd-status-msg, and possibly also for anything that prints to the
terminal. Espcially --term-osd-esc looks relatively useless without
being able to specify escapes.

Maybe parsing escapes should happen during command line / config parsing
instead (for all options).
