hmp: hmp_memchar_read(): skip non-printable chars

Otherwise we can get funny stuff printed and if the buffer contains
a '\0' char it won't be fully printed.

Swallows control characters except for '\n'.  Okay if that's what we
want, but clearly needs to be documented.

If not, then something like this:

   for (i = 0; i < meminfo->count; i++) {
       char c = meminfo->data[i];

        if (c == '\') {
            monitor_printf(mon, "\\\\");
        } else if (isprint(c) || c == '\n' || c == '\t') {
            monitor_printf(mon, "%c, c);
        } else {
            monitor_printf(mon, "\\%03o", c);
        }
    }
    if (meminfo->count) {
        monitor_printf(mon, "\n");
    }

Also needs documenting.

Well, the goal here is to be as friendly as possible when printing
this stuff to users. You do improve it, so I'll merge it into my
patch. Except that, I don't see what has to be documented, as documentation
goes to hmp's help message.
