-----------
t/re/reg_mesg.t - escape non-visible codepoints in test names
In GH #21993 James Keenan pointed out that this test scrambles the
terminal by outputting raw utf8, possibly malformed as part of the
test names. This makes it hard to understand what is going on with
the test. This patch fixes the test names so that the code snippets
we output are escaped. We use a custom sub to do the escaping so that
we do not use the regex engine at all to do the escaping.
See https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/21993#issuecomment-1945981506
for details of the problems James observed.
With this patch the output should not break any terminals.
