Turns out, it was already almost correct. If you disregard \c and \M style escapes, only a single character is allowed to be escaped in a regex so most tests passed already.
There was also a mistake where the wrong value was constructed for the ast, this is now fixed. One test fails because of this, but I'm fairly sure it is because of a parser bug. For
/\“/, the backslash is supposed to be removed because it is a multibyte character. But tbh, I don't entirely understand all the rules.Fixes more than half of the remaining ast differences for rubocop tests
