tests: remove leading spaces from some tags

The threee tags `<name>`, `</name>` and `<command>` were frequently used
with a leading space that this removes. The reason this habbit is so
widespread in testcases is probably that they have been copy and pasted.

Hence, fixing them all now might curb this practice from now on.

misc: better random strings

Generate alphanumerical random strings.

Prior this change curl used to create random hex strings. This was
mostly okay, but having alphanumerical random strings is better: The
strings have more entropy in the same space.

The MIME multipart boundary used to be mere 64-bits of randomness due
to being 16 hex chars. With these changes the boundary is 22
alphanumerical chars, or little over 130 bits of randomness.

mime: use percent-escaping for multipart form field and file names

Until now, form field and file names where escaped using the
backslash-escaping algorithm defined for multipart mails.

mime: use percent-escaping for multipart form field and file names

Until now, form field and file names where escaped using the
backslash-escaping algorithm defined for multipart mails. This commit
replaces this with the percent-escaping method for URLs.

As this may introduce incompatibilities with server-side applications, a
new libcurl option CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS with bitmask
CURLMIMEOPT_FORMESCAPE is introduced to revert to legacy use of
backslash-escaping. This is controlled by new cli tool option
--form-escape.

New tests and documentation are provided for this feature.
