[issue2830] Copy cgi.escape() to html

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

In light of #9061, it should also start quoting single quotes when the arg is true.

Since this function is called a LOT, it might also make sense to trivially implement it in C.

If there are no objections, I can do that for 3.2.
