Write ESC as \u001b instead of the TOML 1.1-only \e escape - #641

Summary

Since the TOML 1.1 update (#456), _escaped maps e to ESC, and _compact_escapes is derived from it, so dumps() now writes \x1b as \e in basic strings, multiline basic strings and quoted keys. \e is only valid in TOML 1.1, so the output can no longer be read by TOML 1.0 parsers such as the stdlib tomllib:

>>> tomllib.loads(tomlkit.dumps({"a": "x\x1by"}))
tomllib.TOMLDecodeError: Unescaped '\' in a string (at line 1, column 8)

This excludes e from the encode table only, so ESC is written as \u001b (valid in both 1.0 and 1.1), while the parser keeps accepting \e.

Tests: dumping ESC in a value, a quoted key and a multiline string gives \u001b and round-trips; the output loads with tomllib (3.11+); parsing "\e" / """\e""" still yields \x1b.
