Bug 9113: fix handling of certain characters by item batch modification tool

If you're using the batch modification tool and entering a call number
like "E+ 123 ABC", the tool removes the + and puts a space in its place,
e.g., "E  123 ABC"

This is because the form is posted via Ajax by background-job-progressbar.js.
Values are URI-encoded using escape(), but this method does not escape some
characters: * @ - _ + . /

Also, "+" is considered as a space in a URI.

This patch replaces escape() by encodeURIComponent() which encodes every character.

Test plan :
Perform an items batch modification by setting '* @ - _ + . /' in a field
(notes for example) and see that all characters are saved correctly.
