Auto merge of #26947 - nagisa:unicode-escape-error, r=nrc

Inspired by the now-mysteriously-closed https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/26782.

This PR introduces better error messages when unicode escapes have invalid format (e.g. `\uFFFF`). It also makes rustc always tell the user that escape may not be used in byte-strings and bytes and fixes some spans to not include unecessary characters and include escape backslash in some others.
