Subject: [PATCH 4/6] coredump: kill cn_escape(), introduce cn_esc_printf()

The usage of cn_escape() looks really annoying, imho this
sequence needs a wrapper. And it is buggy. If cn_printf()
does expand_corename() cn_escape() writes to the freed
memory.

Introduce cn_esc_printf() which hopefully does this all right.
It records the index before cn_vprintf(), not "char *" which
is no longer valid (in general) after krealloc().
