-ls and -fls print names as they are, so a name with a newline spans two lines and one with a space can't be told apart from two fields:

$ touch 'sp ace' $'new\nline' 'é'
$ find . -type f -ls       # name column only
GNU 4.10:    main:
./\303\251    ./é
./new\nline  ./new
./sp\ ace    line
             ./sp ace

GNU find writes them with print_name_with_quoting (lib/listfile.c): a backslash before \, space and ", \n \b \r \t \f for those controls, and three octal digits for every other byte outside !..~. The link target after -> gets the same. This is not ls -b: " is escaped, \a is \007, and non-ASCII bytes are octal in any locale. -print, -printf %p and -print0 still print names unchanged.

New test find_ls_escapes_special_characters_in_names fails on main; cargo test passes, clippy and fmt clean. The names above now print as GNU prints them.
