Fix counting of escape sequences when splitting TXT strings

`endingToTxtSlice`, used by TXT, SPF and a few other types, parses a
string such as `"hello world"` from an RR's content in a zone file.
These strings are limited to 255 characters, and `endingToTxtSlice`
automatically splits them if they're longer than that. However, it
didn't count the length correctly: escape sequences such as `\\` or
`\123` were counted as multiple characters (2 and 4 respectively in
these examples), but they should only count as one character because
they represent a single byte in wire format (which is where this 255
character limit comes from). This commit fixes that.
