Wiki Escaping - Full UTF8 support in Wiki Names and Wiki Page Names

!Hubzilla Development

I've submitted a merge request that implements a new Wiki escaping mechanism that deals with some of the edge cases that give troubles currently (eg. the & character). The new system also allows all UTF8 characters in WIKI names and WIKI page names.

It should be a "drop-in" replacement and should function fine in place of the current system, but it would be good if some testing could take place before it is integrated. SO... I'm asking for the help of anyone who might be able to run it through some testing.

The merge request is on framagit for review: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/merge_requests/1321

@Mario Vavti -- Smarty actually has some built in escaping. It might be good to get into the habit of using the $varname|escape:'quotes' (for display) and $varname|escape:'url' (for URL related stuff) as appropriate when using variables in Javascript calls in templates. I pushed a fix for deleting pages with quotation marks to dev.

Nicely done. Thanks for fixing the fix! I missed the 'javascript' option.
