Set correct highlight group for escaped characters #164

scalaEscapedChar should be set to Special, not Function.

To recreate the issue that this is fixing run:

echo "a\nb" > ~/foo.txt

Then use :setfiletype to change the filetype to various other languages like c, java, perl, python, ruby, javascript, and finally scala. Notice that the \n is a different color only in scala. It is the color used for functions and it is the only outlier here.

This commit fixes that.

Special appears to be the convention in syntaxes in the Vim distribution so LGTM 👍🏼
