Task-5184168

This update removes redundant string escaping functionality within Odoo's codebase. The system's markup template engine now automatically handles escaping, eliminating the need for manual escaping steps. Using `htmlEscape` is now recommended for manual escaping to prevent issues with double escaping in templates.

All occurrences have been removed.

markup template automatically escapes its params, so there should be no need to manually escape strings before passing them to a template.

If escaping manually is necessary, `htmlEscape` should be used instead, as it wraps its result into markup which prevents double escaping when used in templates and other HTML utility functions.
