/**
* Encodes a stringified TestQuery so that it can be placed in a `?q=` parameter in a URL.
*
* `encodeURIComponent` encodes in accordance with `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`,
* but URLs don't actually have to be as strict as HTML form encoding
* (we interpret this purely from JavaScript).
* So we encode the component, then selectively convert some %-encoded escape codes
* back to their original form for readability/copyability.
