[epiphany/mcatanzaro/#1612: 2/14] Add secure output encoding functions

[Marge Bot <marge-bot src gnome org>]

commit 31768a0e73f183cc29c1837f158d41b423d3ffef
Author: Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro redhat com>
Date:   Tue Dec 14 16:41:00 2021 -0600

    Add secure output encoding functions
    
    If we fail to use these when required, malicious web content could XSS
    Epiphany's internal pages.
    
    (As you might guess, the fact that these functions don't exist already
    indicates that is currently possible in various places.)
