Text.Pandoc.XML.Light: make escStr more efficient.

Previously, if a text contained any escapable character, the
whole text was unpacked to String and rebuilt one Builder
singleton per character.  Now we copy whole chunks between
escapable characters with fromText, and avoid the extra
initial T.any pass.  About 5x faster on typical text with
occasional escapes; output is unchanged.
