[issue11228] raw unicode strings interpret \u and \U (but not \n, \xHH, ...)

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

len(ur'\u0000') == len(u'\u0000') == 1
len(ur'\U0010FFFF') == len(u'\U0010FFFF') == 1

but

>>> len(ur'\n'), len(u'\n')
(2, 1)
>>> len(ur'\x00'), len(u'\x00')
(4, 1)

\u and \U should not be interpreted in raw Unicode strings.
