http: Escape error page text to prevent reflected XSS

The text parameter in ast_http_create_response() is inserted into
the HTML body without escaping, while the server name on the same
page is properly escaped via ast_xml_escape(). When res_phoneprov
passes the decoded request URI as the text of a 404 response, HTML
metacharacters in the URI are rendered by the browser.

Apply ast_xml_escape() to the text parameter before inserting it
into the HTML template, using the same function already used for
the server name.
