/**
 * Read one of tr's SET operands, resolving backslash escapes.
 *
 * This is tr's grammar, which is narrower than the shell's in two ways and
 * wider in one. tr has no `\xHH` and no `\c`: both are ordinary unknown
 * escapes. An unknown escape *drops* the backslash and keeps the letter,
 * where `echo -e` passes `\z` through unchanged — so `tr '\x41' -` deletes
 * `x`, `4` and `1`, not `A`. Octal is written `\NNN` with no leading zero
 * required, greedy to three digits, so `\0141` is `\014` followed by a
 * literal `1`. A three-digit value above 255 is ambiguous; GNU backs off to
 * the first two digits and leaves the third as a literal.
 *
 * Not covered: GNU also writes a warning to stderr for that ambiguous case
 * (exit status is unaffected), which this pure reader has no channel for.
 * Values 128-255 name a byte in GNU and a code point here, which is the
 * same string-vs-bytes limit the rest of tr already carries.
 *
 * Mirrors Python's `interpret_escapes`.
