ESCAPED_STRING doesn't parse \n

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

ESCAPED_STRING doesn’t parse “\n”. I expected to get Tree('start', [Token('ESCAPED_STRING', '"\n"')])

To Reproduce With lark.__version__ == '0.11.1'

Lark(
r"""
start: ESCAPED_STRING
%import common.ESCAPED_STRING
"""
).parse('"\n"')

Will result in error:

UnexpectedCharacters: No terminal defined for '"' at line 1 col 1

"
^

Expecting: {'ESCAPED_STRING'}
