Subject: bin/embed: make /really/ portable

Turns out that sed and awk backslash handling differs across
implementations so the original code (and the many other incantations
of it I tried) didnt work on macOS and BSD (or worked there but not in
GNU or busybox).

Here's a POSIX shell version that should work everywhere.
