56a8caff92 qapi: Restrict strings to printable ASCII
RFC 8259 on string contents:

   All Unicode characters may be placed within the quotation marks,
   except for the characters that MUST be escaped: quotation mark,
   reverse solidus, and the control characters (U+0000 through
   U+001F).

The QAPI schema parser accepts both less and more than JSON: it
accepts only ASCII with \u (less), and accepts control characters
other than LF (new line) unescaped.  How it treats unescaped non-ASCII
input differs between Python 2 and Python 3.

Make it accept strictly less: require printable ASCII.  Drop support
for \b, \f, \n, \r, \t.
