Comment:

 xprofile: fix HTML entities in field values rendering incorrectly when
 auto-link is enabled.

 `bp_xprofile_escape_field_data()` runs before this function, which often
 runs esc_html().
 In turn, that encodes HTML entities in the string (";" becomes "'").

 Before splitting on the ";" character, decode the HTML entities, and re-
 encode after.
