common: simplify and optimize string escape parsing

This code is shared between input.conf parser and option parser. Until
now, the performance didn't really matter. But I want to use this code
for JSON parsing too, and since JSON will have to be parsed a lot, it
should probably try to avoid realloc'ing too much.

This commit moves parsing of C-style escaped strings into a common
function, and allows using it in a way realloc can be completely
avoided, if the already allocated buffer is large enough.
