[issue18020] html.escape 10x slower than cgi.escape

[A.M. Kuchling]

A.M. Kuchling added the comment:

Matt's patch looks good to me.  It removes two module-level dicts, but they're marked as internal, so that's OK.  There's already a test case that exercises html.escape(), so I don't think any additional tests are needed.
