This is the updated proposal from the original "[PATCH 2/3] crypto:
switch nonstandard escape sequence to its hex value".

Following up on Vladimir's comments, I decided to look up all the GRUB
sources where key/term entries were being compared to '\e', and replaced
those with GRUB_TERM_ESC, with GRUB_TERM_ESC changed to use a hex value.

To be consistent, since we also have definitions for GRUB_TERM_BACKSPACE
and GRUB_TERM_TAB in term.h, this patch also replaces '\b' and '\t'
where appropriate (i.e. mostly for keypress validation, but not for
printed output).
In several places it was misused. I've thrown them away and committed the rest 
Obviously the result is that quite a few more files are
affected compared to the original patch.

As per this proposal, the only files that are still being left with '\e'
sequences are argp-fmtstream.c in gnulib, since I'm not too sure of its
use and thought it better to leave it alone, as well as terminfo.c which
also contains a series of Escape sequences (e.g. "\e[H\e[J") that I'm
not too concerned about.

The last thing I'll point out is that, because term.h is included as
part of normal.h, there wasn't any need to add new #include directives
for the GRUB_TERM_ defs. Of course, this patch was also validated to
confirm it doesn't break compilation.

Regards,

/Pete
