Subject: [PATCH] Add a new API function, written at least twice in
 app_voicemail.c and likely in other places too.

This is quite useful when placing mail/html stuff in config files.

 /*!
   \brief Convert some C escape sequences (\b\f\n\r\t) into the
        equivalent characters.
   \brief s The string to be converted (will be modified).
   \return The converted string.
