Title: Allow escape sequences in actor names, see #2123.

Hi,
This PR extends `ActorPath.ElementRegex` to also accept escape sequences, as defined by rfc2369, in form of `"%" hex hex`.
I also added two test cases for invalid escape sequences to `LocalActorRefProviderSpec`.

The user is responsible to encode the name before passing it to `actorOf`. The lookup later also has to be encoded (although there the name is not checked, the lookup just won't find the desired actor).

Let me know if you need more work done.

Cheers,
Gerolf
