espeak: escape XML-special characters in single-character mode

When speakup echoes a single character, espeakup wraps it in SSML:

    <say-as interpret-as="characters">%c</say-as>

If the character is one of XML's five special characters (< > & ' "),
the raw byte is injected straight into the markup, producing ill-formed
SSML.  espeak-ng then misparses the <say-as> element, which surfaces as
a spurious high-pitched "ringing" whenever one of these characters is
spoken.

Escape each special character to its corresponding XML entity
(&lt; &gt; &amp; &apos; &quot;) so the markup stays well-formed.
Non-printable characters (< 0x20 or > 0x7e) are no longer wrapped in
SSML either; they fall through to the existing raw-synthesis fallback
so they cannot corrupt the surrounding element either.

The space and ordinary-printable-character paths are unchanged.

-espeakup connector
-=======================
-
-This is very early alpha software, so please keep that in mind if you
-use this program.
-
-espeakup is a program which makes it possible for speakup to use
-the espeak software synthesizer.  It does this by reading speakup's
-softsynth device and passing the text to espeak which actually speaks.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-This program works with the speakup screen reader, which can be obtained
-from http://linux-speakup.org, and the espeak software speech
-synthesizer which can be obtained from http://espeak.sourceforge.net.
-You must have both of these installed and operational.  Setting them up
-is beyond the scope of this document.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-The preferred way to install espeakup is using your distribution's
-packaging system, but if your distribution does not have a package for
-espeakup yet, here are some basic instructions.
-
-To install espeakup, first cd into the directory where you
-unpacked the tarball, then issue make to compile the program.  Once this
-is done, as root, issue make install.  This will install espeakup in /usr/bin.
-
-Starting Up
-===========
-
-This program should be run after speakup is set up to communicate with a
-software synthesizer and after /dev/softsynth exists.  The way this is
-done is distribution specific, so it is beyond the scope of this
-documentation.
-
-Command Line Options
-====================
-
-Espeakup currently accepts the following command line options:
-
-  --default-voice=voice, -V voice	Set default voice.
-  --debug, -d				Debug mode (stay in the foreground).
-  --help, -h				Show this help.
-  --version, -v				Display the software version.
-
-Questions
-=========
-
-You can contact me with questions, bugs, patches, etc, at
-w.d.hubbs@gmail.com or on the speakup mailing list.  I hope you find
-this software to be useful.
-
-Acknowledgements
-================
-
-I would like to thank Marc Mulcahy, the author of the speakup to
-TTSynth connector, on which this work is based.  Also, I would like
-to thank Kirk Reiser and Jonathan Duttington, the
-authors of Speakup and Espeak, respectively, for their work.

+
+## Installation
+
+The preferred way to install espeakup is using your distribution's

+espeakup yet, espeakup just uses meson, so you should be able to
+change to the source directory, then type:
+
+```bash

+cd ./build
+ninja
+sudo ninja install

+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`espeakup` [`--pid-path=`<path>] [`--alsa-volume`]
+[`--default-voice=`[<voicename>]] [`--debug`] [`--help`] [`--version`]
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+  * `-P` <path>, `--pid-path=`<path>:
+    Set the full path for the pid file espeakup uses when in daemon mode.
+
+  * `--alsa-volume`:
+    Drive the ALSA volume. useful for live environments where volume
+    adjustments maybe impossible.
+
+  * `-V` <voicename>, `--default-voice=`<voicename>:
+    Set the espeak-ng voice to be used by default.
+
+  * `-d`, `--debug`:
+    run in the foreground, rather than becoming a daemon process.
+
+  * `-h`, `--help`:
+    display a brief help message and exit.
+
+  * `-v`, `--version`:
+    output version information and exit.
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+espeakup bridges the gap between two tools: the Speakup screen review system and
+the espeak-ng text-to-speech engine. Each of these tools performs a
+well-defined task.
+
+Speakup is a kernel-based screen reader for the Linux console. It extracts and
+processes the text that is displayed on the foreground virtual console. It
+supports several hardware based speech synthesizers directly. However, since it
+is in kernel space, it cannot support a software speech synthesizer directly
+since these are in user space.
+
+espeak-ng is a popular software speech synthesizer. It is small, light weight,
+very responsive, and supports multiple languages. espeakup is a connector which
+will read text sent to it by speakup and forward it to espeak-ng. This allows
+Speakup to use espeak-ng as its speech synthesizer.
+
+espeakup is a daemon. Typically, it is started at boot time, and it terminates
+when the system is halted or rebooted. It should be started by the system's init
+scripts. This process varies among Linux distributions, but the details are
+usually managed by the person who packaged espeakup for your distribution. From
+the perspective of an average user, espeakup's operation is invisible.
+
+## BUGS
+

+[github issue](https://github.com/linux-speakup/espeakup/issues)

+screenreader. Visit
