Modernize octal escape sequences

org.openrewrite.javascript.migrate.es6.modernize-octal-escape-sequences

Convert legacy octal escape sequences in string literals (e.g., \1, \123) to hex escape sequences (e.g., \x01, \x53) or Unicode escape sequences (e.g., \u0001, \u0053). The \0 escape is left alone unless a digit follows it.
