[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 18/58] json: Reject unescaped control characters

[Markus Armbruster]

Fix the lexer to reject unescaped control characters in JSON strings,
in accordance with RFC 8259 "The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
Data Interchange Format".

Bonus: we now recover more nicely from unclosed strings.  E.g.

    {"one: 1}\n{"two": 2}

now recovers cleanly after the newline, where before the lexer
remained confused until the next unpaired double quote or lexical
error.
