/usr/lib/init/displaymotd barfs on "markup"

Description

When the MOTD contains ampersands (like, say, IS&T), zenity barfs and defaults to the useless "All updates are complete.". We should run the output of get_message through tr or something and get rid of the characters '&', '<' and '>'. And possibly anything else that Pango thinks it should interpret.

Escaping them with \ doesn't work - we either get to convert to HTML entities, or strip them out.
