To ensure Perl invocations within tests call the same Perl binary used
for running the tests, as specified or auto-detected via `PERL` env
(autotools) or `PERL_EXECUTABLE` setting (cmake). Instead of the first
`perl` executable found in `PATH`.)

Generate alphanumerical random strings.
Prior this change curl used to create random hex strings. This was
mostly okay, but having alphanumerical random strings is better: The
strings have more entropy in the same space.
The MIME multipart boundary used to be mere 64-bits of randomness due
to being 16 hex chars. With these changes the boundary is 22
alphanumerical chars, or little over 130 bits of randomness.
Closes#11838
Until now, form field and file names where escaped using the
backslash-escaping algorithm defined for multipart mails. This commit
replaces this with the percent-escaping method for URLs.
As this may introduce incompatibilities with server-side applications, a
new libcurl option CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS with bitmask
CURLMIMEOPT_FORMESCAPE is introduced to revert to legacy use of
backslash-escaping. This is controlled by new cli tool option
--form-escape.
New tests and documentation are provided for this feature.
