Makes sense. C says that octal escapes may be at most 3 digits, and
"\400" is an error (assuming 8-bit chars).
C also says that hex escapes are of unlimited length. That's a bit
strange, but I guess ls might as well be consistent. Like octal
escapes, if the value is out of range it is an error (e.g., "\x100",
again assuming 8-bit chars). "\x0000000000000000001" is valid and is
the same as "\1".
