Bug: Unable to send text with new lines as "\n"

[bartoszpijet]

Describe the bug

New lines written as "\n" cause database to response with "Parse error".
What's weird is that even sending "\n" it will still throw same error.
Only sending new line as real new line (pressing enter) will be accepted.

Problem is pretty annoying while sending JSON data from JS sdk.

Steps to reproduce

Command that will throw error:
CREATE test SET value = "sometext\nwithnewline"; CREATE test SET value = "sometext\\nwithnewline";

Expected behaviour

Save values with "\n" as text, allow to unescape it or just parse it as new line.

SurrealDB version

v1.0.0-beta.7 for linux amd64
