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')
