ScriptFu: TinyScheme: add call-with-output-string etc to dialect

Add canonical/idiomatic functions call-with-output-string,
call-with-input-string, any->string to the library init.scm.
Since they are useful, especially in test scripts and frameworks.

Remove their definitions from test scripts and test frameworks.

Also comment out failing test in test script string-escape.scm.
