[libvirt] PATCH: Fix escaping for 8-bit high characters

The virBufferEscapeString method has a broken test

  *cur > 0x20

which causes all 8-bit high characters to be lost as 'cur' is a signed
char. This obviously dooms anyone using UTF-8 characters outside the
boring old ASCII-7 range, like this guy
