LANG-1303 : Escape HTML characters once
Hi, this is my first time contributing to any open source project.
The feature goes as follows:
If already escaped HTML characters are in the input test, they get escaped
again using StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4().
For example:
If the input is:
100 kg < 1000kg
Then the output of escapeHtml4() becomes:
100kg &lt; 1000kg
At my workplace, we felt the need for a method in StringEscapeUtils which
does not escape already escaped characters.

Adding a new html4 translator to escape HTML characters only once.
This prevents single, double or recursive escaping of html characters.

AggregateTranslator.
2. Added escapeHtml3Once() method.
3. Commenting improvements.
