xss: XSS To LFI Vulnerability

This addresses a vulnerability found by [AkkuS CW](https://pentest.com.tr)
where a simple XSS attempt can lead to an LFI (Local File Inclusion) attack.
The issue stems from the system returning the unformatted file contents in
an error message when uploading a CSV to the User Importer. This formats the
contents before uploading so that if the contents are returned in an error
message they will not be executed by the browser which therefore prevents
XSS attempts and the possibility of an LFI attack. This also formats all the
user-created data sent to ImportError to prevent the same issue.
