Nicholas Nethercote 4acc5e6480 Don't rebuild raw strings when unescaping.
Raw strings don't have escape sequences, so for them "unescaping" just
means checking for invalid chars like bare CR. Which means there is no
need to rebuild them one char or byte at a time while escaping, because
the unescaped version will be the same. This commit removes that
rebuilding.

Also, the commit changes things so that "unescaping" is unconditional for
raw strings and raw byte strings. That's simpler and they're rare enough
that the perf effect is negligible.

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
