gh-100001: Omit control characters in http.server stderr logs. (GH-100002)
Replace control characters in http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.log_message with an escaped \xHH sequence to avoid causing problems for the terminal the output is printed to. (cherry picked from commit d8ab0a4dfa48f881b4ac9ab857d2e9de42f72828) Co-authored-by: Gregory P. Smith <greg@krypto.org>

+``python -m http.server`` no longer allows terminal control characters sent
+within a garbage request to be printed to the stderr server log.
+
+This is done by changing the :mod:`http.server` :class:`BaseHTTPRequestHandler`
+``.log_message`` method to replace control characters with a ``\xHH`` hex escape
+before printing.
