[Backport] CVE-2024-9965: Insufficient data validation in DevTools

Manual backport of patch originally reviewed on
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/devtools/devtools-frontend/+/5850610:
Fix curl escaping for cmd when ampersand follows a newline.

Currently, generated command allows arbitrary code execution, due to incomplete escaping: an ampersand in multi-line strings is not escaped.

This is fixed by always escaping outer quotes, thus disabling cmd double quote escaping, and escaping ampersand with a caret.

Double quote escaping is very convenient and easy to read, but it doesn't support multi-line strings. Thus we need to be able to escape individual characters with caret, which was added in https://codereview.chromium.org/2182213006/.

That CL only escaped outer double quotes around multi-line strings for better readability. However this lead to carets being interpreted as a literal character in single-line strings. This caused crrev.com/2514441 which disabled caret escaping of ampersand even for multi-line strings with escaped quotes and crrev.com/c/5126051 which enabled escaping quotes for the single-line strings with special characters (including ampersand, which was still exempt from caret escaping:).

As this is all rather complicated and hard to follow, this CL sacrifices the generated command readability in favor of correctness and simplicity (relatively speaking) of the generator code, leaving only one mode of escaping.
