Unescapes a segment of an escaped string.
If any of the characters in @illegal_characters or the character zero appears as an escaped character in @escaped_string then that is an error and %NULL will be returned. This is useful it you want to avoid for instance having a slash being expanded in an escaped path element, which might confuse pathname handling.
