Escape document information when writing XMP metadata

CHANGELOG.md

 ### Unreleased
 
+- Escape document information in XMP metadata and omit characters XML 1.0 cannot represent, without changing the PDF Info dictionary. Fixes #1817
 - Fix text in a standard font garbling or dropping the characters after a tab, a carriage return or any other character code below `0x10`, which was written into the hex string of the text as a single digit, so the following digits paired up wrongly: a `\r` before a line break showed as `Ð`, and `Tab\there` was read back as `Tab–†W&P`. Fixes #1425, #606
 - Reuse the glyph width and kerning tables of a standard font across documents instead of building them again for every document that uses it, which made a short document using two standard fonts more than twice as slow to create
 - Fix `doc.table()` parsing a font passed as binary data (e.g. registered with `registerFont(name, uint8Array)`) again for every cell, when it restores the font after measuring and drawing the cell, which made tables with such fonts slower. A font loaded from the same `Uint8Array` is now reused without parsing it again
