Summary: better parser error message for non-EOL following line cont.

Initial Comment:
This small patch adds a specific error message for when a 
line continuation character (\) is followed by something 
other than a newline.  If the character following the \ is 
whitespace, it can be difficult to see why it is an 'invalid 
token' as the error message used to say.

While this may be helpful when the invalid token is
whitespace, Python usually shows the exact location of the
invalid token, so you can examine this line and find the
error. On the other hand, the patch is no big deal, so if a
specific error message is welcome, it may as well be applied.
