#2830: add html.escape() helper and move cgi.escape() uses in the standard library to it. It defaults to quote=True and also escapes single quotes, which makes casual use safer. The cgi.escape() interface is not touched, but emits a (silent) PendingDeprecationWarning.

:mod:`html` --- HyperText Markup Language support
=================================================
.. module:: html
:synopsis: Helpers for manipulating HTML.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
This module defines utilities to manipulate HTML.
.. function:: escape(s, quote=True)
Convert the characters ``&``, ``<`` and ``>`` in string *s* to HTML-safe
sequences. Use this if you need to display text that might contain such
characters in HTML. If the optional flag *quote* is true, the characters
(``"``) and (``'``) are also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML
attribute value delimited by quotes, as in ``<a href="...">``.
