[PATCH v4 1/8] scripts: include: Add string_util.h for strsep_unescaped

[Jonas Rebmann <jre@pengutronix.de>]

lib/string.c has strsep_unescaped() that will be useful for the keytoc
host tool to split ENV specs at spaces not preceded by a backslash in a
future commit.

In preparation, create scripts/include/string_util.h with a copy of that
function as to have it available in host tools.

+ * backslash then continues the search until an unescaped delimiter is found.
+ *
+ * On end of string, this function returns NULL. As long as a non-NULL
+ * value is returned and @delim is not NULL, the found delimiter will
+ * be stored into *@delim.
