Make the character literal ?\LF (linefeed) generate 10, not -1.

Ensure that Control escape sequences in character literals are
idempotent: ?\C-\C-a and ?\^\^a mean the same thing as ?\C-a and ?\^a,
generating the control character with value 1.  "\C-\C-a" no longer
signals an error.

* src/lread.c (read_escape): Make nonrecursive and only combine
the base char with modifiers at the end, creating control chars
if applicable.  Remove the `stringp` argument; assume character
literal syntax.  Never return -1.
(read_string_literal): Handle string-specific escape semantics here
and simplify.
* test/src/lread-tests.el (lread-misc-2): New test.
