AK: Enhance GenericLexer's string consumption

Browse source 
The `consume_quoted_string()` can now take an escape character. This allows it
(for example) to capture a string's enclosing quotes. The escape character is
optional by default.

You can also consume and unescape a quoted string with the eponymous method
`consume_and_unescape_string()`. It takes an escape character as parameter
(backslash by default). It builds a String in which common escape sequences
get... unescaped :^) (e.g. \n, \r, \t...).
