\x{XXXX} \u{XXXX} and \o{OOOO} are accepted in all languages mode
in characters and string literals.
This is a feature proposed for both C++ (P2290R1) and C (N2785). The
papers have been seen by both committees but are not yet adopted into
either standard. However, they do have support from both committees.
This is a missing piece for C99 conformance.
This patch handles UCNs by adding a '\\' case to LexTokenInternal and
LexIdentifier -- if we see a backslash, we tentatively try to read in a UCN.
If the UCN is not syntactically well-formed, we fall back to the old
treatment: a backslash followed by an identifier beginning with 'u' (or 'U').
Because the spelling of an identifier with UCNs still has the UCN in it, we
need to convert that to UTF-8 in Preprocessor::LookUpIdentifierInfo.
Of course, valid code that does *not* use UCNs will see only a very minimal
performance hit (checks after each identifier for non-ASCII characters,
checks when converting raw_identifiers to identifiers that they do not
contain UCNs, and checks when getting the spelling of an identifier that it
does not contain a UCN).
This patch also adds basic support for actual UTF-8 in the source. This is
treated almost exactly the same as UCNs except that we consider stray
Unicode characters to be mistakes and offer a fixit to remove them.
