Summary: IDT export does not always transform control chars

Initial Comment:
For some tables/columngs, the escapeIdtCharacters is 
not set to true, although it should be. This leads to a 
failure linking such projects as decomiled WISE installers.

Examples of columns that should probably have 
escapeIdtCharacters="yes" are (list does not claim to be 
complete):

ActionText.Description
ActionText.Template
Feature.Description
LaunchCondition.Description
RadioButton.Help
(to fix in Data/tables.xml)

Actually, is there any reason, not to perform the special 
char handling on all fields?

IDT escaping has been added to all relevant localized text 
fields (as all of the above are).  We don't want to do IDT 
escaping all the time because it is a brain-dead and relatively 
expensive operation.  Once we find all the places where line-
feeds are actually allowed, this should not be an issue.
