Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Fix Python string escapes

Python 3.6 introduced a DeprecationWarning for invalid escape sequences.
This is upgraded to a SyntaxWarning in Python 3.12 (3.12.0rc1), and is
intended to eventually be a syntax error.

This series aims to fix these now to get ahead of it before it's an error.

Most of the patches are generated using the below Python script. It
uses the builtin ast module to parse a Python file, locate all strings,
find the corresponding source code, and check for bad escape sequences.

If it finds things to fix then it applies the fixes and reparses the
file into a fixed AST. It finally compares the original and fixed ASTs
to ensure no semantic difference has been introduced (dumping is done to
remove node location information, which is expected to be different).

There are some limitations of the ast module, in particular it throws
away a lot of information about the string source. f-strings especially
interact poorly here (the slices between formats are presented as
separate strings, but the node range of each is the entire f-string),
so are skipped. f-strings are handled manually in the final patch.

A lot of the fixes are for regex patterns, which could be changed to use
r-strings instead. But that is less easy to automate, so I avoided doing
so in this series. AST verification should still be possible though,
because being a plain or r-string is stripped away in the AST.
