post_class filter can introduce non-escaped output

Description

Currently post_class filter is executed after using esc_attr to escape existing classes, and thus newly added classes are not escaped properly.

Excerpt from get_post_class

$classes = array_map('esc_attr', $classes);

/**
 * Filter the list of CSS classes for the current post.
 *
 * @since 2.7.0
 *
 * @param array  $classes An array of post classes.
 * @param string $class   A comma-separated list of additional classes added to the post.
 * @param int    $post_id The post ID.
 */
$classes = apply_filters( 'post_class', $classes, $class, $post->ID );

return array_unique( $classes );

I think we should escape after applying the filter, not before, since a snippet like the following can exploit the code and break output:

add_filter( 'post_class', function( $classes ){
    $classes[] = '" data-foo="bar'; // sneaking in some data attributes
    // OR
    $classes[] = '">some evil stuff here'; // nasty!
    return $classes;
} );
