SLPEscape() is designed to escape reserved characters in attribute
value strings only. Turning bytes into an opaque-encoded string wasn't included 
in the API because it was thought to be a simple operation that clients
could implement themselves.

I suppose an SLPByteToOpaque() and SLPOpaqueToByte() matched pair
of functions would be useful as a general facility.
