[PATCH 1/2] Add character literal parsing in bytestrings

[Anton Staaf <robotboy-F7+t8E8rja9g9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org>]

This adds support for parsing simple (non-escaped) 'x' character
literal syntax in bytestrings.  For example:

    property = ['a' 2b 'c'];

is equivalent to:

    property = [61 2b 62];
