Invalid linecoverage.xml file for Kotlin Test method names that use special symbols enclosed in backticks

See original GitHub issue

Tested with Pitest 1.9.3. Project runs on Kotlin 1.6.10

Issue

When setting exportLineCoverage to true Pitest generates an invalid linecoverage.xml file when there are “special symbols” in test method names enclosed in backticks (this is a best practices for writing tests in Kotlin), e.g. @Test fun `this won't work in pitest linecoverage file because of the single quote char`() {...}.

Known Workaround

Don’t use special symbols in test method names enclosed in backticks

Proposed Solution

Pitest should escape the special symbols <, >, &, ', " in the generated xml files

@hcoles successfully tested it with 1.9.7, it produces valid linecoverage.xml files also for tests with lambdas/inlines like above. Thx!
