Subject: [PATCH -resend v2 2/3] coredump: escape / in hostname and comm

Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !. If the process
changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the
directory tree doesn't exist like that). The same with hostname being
something like myhost/3. Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop
used in %E. (We extract it to a separate function.)

Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core
is dumped like (kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%h):
core.2349.myprocess!1.myhost!1
