Improve escaping of newlines in metrics key-value store

Since otherwise any field that contains a carriage return character
could span multiple lines in the metrics data store, which then
wouldn't be read back in its entirety by `bin/report`, which would
lead to eg a truncated fields in Honeycomb.

Such characters are much less likely now after #1789, however,
they can still be present in the user-provided input (that ends up
in fields like `failure_detail`) in some cases, plus from a general
correctness point of view, the key-value store should be escaping
all forms of newline characters.

I've also changed the escaping strategy to use literal `\n` and `\r`
characters so it's possible to distinguish between multi-line and
single line (but space delimited) values more easily.
