Title: javascript: Improve string literals handling

1. Don't include the newline itself in a line continuation construct.
This fixes generation of e.g. properties with embedded line
continuations.
2. Don't continue parsing strings past an unescaped newline (as naked
newlines are invalid inside strings). This avoids parsing the whole
remaining file as a string in case of broken input. It is both
useful to better support partly written files and to avoid loading a
whole malformed file in memory while reading it as a string.
