library: revert one ancient 'escape_str_utf8' deletion

Profiling revealed a large amount of time spent in the
'escape_str_utf8' function (escape.c) with both of our
NLS branches (newlib and master). That same result was
not seen under an ancient top-3.2.8 program & library.

Well, the 3.2.8 result was ultimately explained by the
absence of a 'setlocale', necessary under NLS support.
Thus, when that ancient library tested for locale, all
it got was 'ANSI_...' & assumed 'UTF-8' wasn't active.

But after a hack to that ancient code to place it on a
par with newlib/master, I still found cost differences
that led me to revisit an old change referenced below.

It turns out that 'iswprint' costs far more than would
a call of 'isprint', even with the extra support code.
So this commit just reverts that five year old change.
