RFR 8215099: jshell tool: /help representation of ctrl/meta characters inconsistent

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Double period?

192 jshell.console.empty = \nEmpty entry. A single valid expression or 
statement must proceed Shift+Tab m..

It's not wrong, but I'm curious as to the reason for the convention of 
the pattern of \n followed by some number of \t and then \,
as compared to putting the \t at the beginning of the following line.
