Characters after the `\z` escape sequence with newline in string literals is incorrectly highlighted by the lexer

[Blockzez]

Reproduction Steps

print("\z

reproduction step")

…into the script editor.

Expected Behavior

I expect the newline after the escape sequence \z to not be ignored by lexer and characters after that to be highlighted as string as normal.

Something like this:

Actual Behavior

Characters after \z with newline gets incorrectly highlighted.

There is no syntax error here (as expected) as this is a valid Luau syntax.
