    selftests: use printf instead of echo -ne
    
    [ Upstream commit 9e34fad00fc889abbb99d751a4c22cf2bded10df ]
    
    Rather than trying to guess which implementation of "echo" to run with
    support for "-ne" options, use "printf" instead of "echo -ne".  It
    handles escape characters as a standard feature and it is widespread
    among modern shells.
