Ruby uses a recursive algorithm for handling control/meta escapes
in strings (read_escape). However, the equivalent code for regexps
(tokadd_escape) in did not use a recursive algorithm. Due to this,
Handling of control/meta escapes in regexp did not have the same
behavior as in strings, leading to behavior such as the following
returning nil:
```ruby
/\c\xFF/ =~ "\c\xFF"
```
Switch the code for handling \c, \C and \M in literal regexps to
use the same code as for strings (read_escape), to keep behavior
consistent between the two.
Fixes [Bug #14367]
