Bug: any kind of slash in a string is a syntax error

[jyooru]

Describe the bug

Any slash in a string causes a syntax error.

{
  "code": 400,
  "details": "Request problems detected",
  "description": "There is a problem with your request. Refer to the documentation for further information.",
  "information": "There was a problem with the database: Parse error on line 1 at character 17 when parsing 'CONTENT {\"a\":\"b\\\\b\"}'"
}

Steps to reproduce

• occurs when posting JSON data containing a string with a slash in it.
• occurs when using the CLI SQL REPL

  > surreal sql --conn http://localhost:8000 --user root --pass root --ns test --db test
  > CREATE something CONTENT {"a":"b\\b"}
  {"code":400,"details":"Request problems detected","description":"There is a problem with your request. Refer to the documentation for further information.","information":"There was a problem with the database: Parse error on line 1 at character 17 when parsing 'CONTENT {\"a\":\"b\\\\b\"}'"}
  

Expected behaviour

I expect the following strings to not raise a syntax error:

• a\\b
• a\nb

SurrealDB version

surreal 1.0.0-beta.7 for linux on x86_64
