Large decimal string escapes crash the compiler

If a three-digit decimal string escape is too large (greater than 255) it will crash the compiler with an uncaught exception (bad argument to string.char). For example, the following program crashes titanc when we try to compile it
function f(): string
return "\555"
end
Ideally we should detect this and raise an MalformedEscape_decimal
parsing error. This would be super easy to do if lpeglabel implemented this feature request of mine but I think it should also be possible to implement without that.
