echo: make escape sequences depend on fancy mode
Currently when you disable fancy echo, escape sequences are hardcoded enabled (e.g. as if you used `echo -e` all the time). The opposite behavior is more desirable (always disable -e support) because: * This seems to contradict the spirit of the kconfig help text (where it says enable support for -n/-e flags), although you could say that we aren't supporting the -e flag directly as `echo -e` will show the -e flag. * POSIX makes escape sequences optional, and even says they are there only on XSI-conformant systems. * It saves space (~100 bytes on x86_64). * It makes things faster! * It makes it behave more like bash where you need an explicit -e flag in order for escape sequences to be interpreted.
