Escape sequences in string literals are not recognized #455

The documentation states that escape sequences such as \n in string literals are replaced with the corresponding characters. In fact, this doesn't happen. For example, Message("a\nb"); should print a and b on separate lines, but it actually prints a\nb.

Thanks for filing! I think that #458 was filed first (originally on qsharp-runtime - just transferred it over here). Let's keep tracking this bug in issue #458.
