It might be handy to have some of the escapes that work in $'string'
quoting to also work in prompts especially now with the ${parameter@P}
transformation.

Specifically the hex, unicode and control ones: \xHH, \uHHHH, \UHHHHHHHH
and \cx.

I presume that the dollar-single-quote escapes should not be touched since
they are "specified by the ANSI C standard". Also, they needn't be since we
have the @P transformation.
