perf llvm: Fix inadvertent file creation

The LLVM template is first echo-ed into command_out and then
command_out executed. The echo surrounds the template with double
quotes, however, the template itself may contain quotes. This is
generally innocuous but in tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-test-prologue.c
we see:
...
SEC("func=null_lseek file->f_mode offset orig")
...
where the first double quote ends the double quote of the echo, then
the > redirects output into a file called f_mode.

To avoid this inadvertent behavior substitute redirects and similar
characters to be ASCII control codes, then substitute the output in
the echo back again.
