I disagree with taking this series without fixing the underlying issue. I
don't think we should be sending invalid json data so doing proper
escaping of \n\t etc. characters on encode is the best solution.

There is also some merit in adding in support for tagging strings that
don't contain invalid characters, if perf is affected in some cases. That
said, in the testing I have done in the past:
* for jobs like getting the nic stats or nic xstats, the vast majority of
  the cycles spent in the telemetry function is doing PCI reads for the
  stats
* for simpler jobs e.g. getting list of ethdevs, the vast majority of the
  time is actually being spent in the kernel socket handling

Based on what I've seen (and unfortunately I didn't note down the exact
figures for above), its likely that even if performance of the interface is
a concern we can probably add in some basic string encoding without really
affecting things much.
