IDEA-35669 JavaScript continuations aren't parsed correctly

This is an old bug that resurfaced in the 6.x series. JavaScript string continuations aren't parsed correctly. They are always flagged as syntax errors. The following should be valid:

var x = '\
continue me';

But it is flagged as an unterminated string.

Issue was resolved

ECMA-262 does not allow line terminator within literal:

SingleStringCharacter ::
SourceCharacter but not single-quote ' or backslash \ or LineTerminator
\ EscapeSequence
