Revert COPY OUT to follow the pre-8.3 handling of ASCII control characters,
namely that \r, \n, \t, \b, \f, \v are dumped as those two-character representations rather than a backslash and the literal control character. I had made it do the other to save some code, but this was ill-advised, because dump files in which these characters appear literally are prone to newline mangling. Fortunately, doing it the old way should only cost a few more lines of code, and not slow down the copy loop materially. Per bug #3795 from Lou Duchez.
