Add a fast-path to `Debug` ASCII `&str` Instead of going through the `EscapeDebug` machinery, we can just skip over ASCII chars that don’t need any escaping. --- This is an alternative / a companion to #121138. The other PR is adding the fast path deep within `EscapeDebug`, whereas this skips as early as possible.
