Return a HTML anchor for a Texinfo node name, as per anchor generation specified in the Texinfo manual "HTML Xref Node Name Expansion" and "HTML Xref 8-bit Character Expansion". It encodes various spaces and non-alphanumeric characters as hexadecimal "_HHHH" sequences. For example,

App::Chart::Texinfo::Util::node_to_html_anchor ('My Node-Name')
# returns 'My-Node_002dName'

Perl utf8 wide-char strings can be passed here. Characters beyond 255 are taken to be unicode and encoded as 4 or 6 hex digits per the Texinfo spec.
