feat: Sanitize illegal XML characters from outgoing messages

Filter out control characters (U+0000 to U+001F) from outgoing
messages, as they are illegal in XML 1.0 (except for \t, \n, and \r).
This prevents XMPP servers from closing the connection when such
characters are accidentally or intentionally included in a message.

Fixes: https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/1437
