This fix ensures any unnecessary escape sequences in a string literal are omitted. It is largely based off the rules set out here. I've modified
remove_needless_quote_backslashes
to incorporate the additional "rules", whereby previously it only cared about escaped quotes depending on the type of string literal.I'm pretty heavily relying on a few new test cases + ensuring existing tests didn't break, so there's a chance I might miss some edge cases
