// CUnescape()
//
// Unescapes a `source` string and copies it into `dest`, rewriting C-style
// escape sequences (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/escape) into
// their proper code point equivalents, returning `true` if successful.
//
// The following unescape sequences can be handled:
//
//   * ASCII escape sequences ('\n','\r','\\', etc.) to their ASCII equivalents
//   * Octal escape sequences ('\nnn') to byte nnn. The unescaped value must
//     resolve to a single byte or an error will occur. E.g. values greater than
//     0xff will produce an error.
//   * Hexadecimal escape sequences ('\xnn') to byte nn. While an arbitrary
//     number of following digits are allowed, the unescaped value must resolve
//     to a single byte or an error will occur. E.g. '\x0045' is equivalent to
//     '\x45', but '\x1234' will produce an error.
//   * Unicode escape sequences ('\unnnn' for exactly four hex digits or
//     '\Unnnnnnnn' for exactly eight hex digits, which will be encoded in
//     UTF-8. (E.g., `\u2019` unescapes to the three bytes 0xE2, 0x80, and
//     0x99).
//
// If any errors are encountered, this function returns `false`, leaving the
// `dest` output parameter in an unspecified state, and stores the first
// encountered error in `error`. To disable error reporting, set `error` to
// `nullptr` or use the overload with no error reporting below.
//
// Example:
//
//   std::string s = "foo\\rbar\\nbaz\\t";
//   std::string unescaped_s;
//   if (!absl::CUnescape(s, &unescaped_s) {
//     ...
//   }
//   EXPECT_EQ(unescaped_s, "foo\rbar\nbaz\t");
