David Adam b4e8e5abff __fish_print_apt_packages: stringify
GNU tr is not Unicode-aware, and was corrupting descriptions that had
non-ASCII characters.

Additionally, rather than using the Unicode private use characters, use
the ASCII/UTF-8 record separator character as it was intended.

The sed command could probably be rewritten to do all the heavy lifting
here, but would be even less readable.

Closes #8575.

# if apt-cache was found.)
# Uses the UTF-8/ASCII record separator (0x1A) character.

# Note: This can include "Description:" fields which we need to include,
# "Description-en_GB" (or another locale code) fields which we need to include
# as well as "Description-md5" fields which we absolutely do *not* want to include
# The regex doesn't allow numbers, so unless someone makes a hash algorithm without a number in the name,
# we're safe. (yes, this should absolutely have a better format).
#
# aptitude has options that control the output formatting, but is orders of magnitude slower
