RFR: CSR JDK-8233117 Escape Sequences For Line Continuation and White Space (Preview)

[Alex Buckley]

I attached text-blocks-jls.html which contains the current unified text 
blocks + new escape sequences spec. Edited the CSR's Specification 
section refer specifically to section 3.10.7 of the attachment rather 
than reproducing some of that section. Made some small edits elsewhere 
related to having only two bold questions (corresponding to two new 
escapes) in the Problem.

Provides for the introduction of two new escape sequences \<line-terminator> and \s.  \<line-terminator> allows developers to express unwieldy string literals in a text block as a cluster of short single line segments. The second is to allow developers to express ASCII space, much like \t for tab.
