Speed up lexing template strings.
This was the last use of
AutoCow
remaining in the lexer, and it's now removed.Implementation is quite complex, to avoid repeatedly branching on whether an unescaped string is required or not (the way
AutoCow
did). I tried to simplify it down to a single function, but this hurt performance significantly.Benchmarks do not show much movement, but I believe that's because there aren't many template strings in the benchmarks. Where there are template strings, I believe this speeds up lexing them significantly.
