consistent invalid escape sequence behaviour
* docs: document unrecognized escape sequence behaviour [skip ci]
Document that unrecognized escape sequence behaviour is like python, not
C.
* Don't try to decode invalid hex escape sequences
Don't try to decode escape sequences which should contain a sequence of
hex digits, but don't, throwing a python exception. These will treated
literally instead.
* Extend test case to cover invalid escape sequences
