 - vreport: sanitize ASCII control chars
 - Revert "vreportf: avoid intermediate buffer"

 An error message with an ASCII control character like '\r' in it
 can alter the message to hide its early part, which is problematic
 when a remote side gives such an error message that the local side
 will relay with a "remote: " prefix.

 Will merge to 'next'.

Please be not too hasty with advancing this topic to master. I could
imagine that there is some unwanted fallout on systems where the
end-of-line marker CRLF is common. Though, I haven't tested the topic
myself, yet, nor do I expect regressions in *my* typical workflow.

Thanks; will wait for a further discussion on the topic's thread
then.
