This PR implements basic escaping support as implemented in the Ruby Gem

I have attempted to align the code style / logic components with the Ruby Gem.
Based on the assumption that this is the "source of truth" (pseudo spec) for this library.

I personally think other implementations of dotenv have more complete (better?) support for escaping and
expanding special characters (Example Spec).

But I wanted to start with the minimal viable scope and avoid misalignment with the "source of truth" (?)

resolves #711

i have mixed feelings on this behavior. looks like the rubygem has done this since inception, but it doesn't follow the principle of least surprise to me. the \n disappearing would frustrate me.

this behavior goes back to 0.0.3. 599144a

i'm open to arguments for doing this, but it will definitely be a potentially significant breaking change if we do

closing this, as we've matched the expected bash parsing in dotenvx and we are recommending dotenvx going forward. t unifies the .env file standard across all runtimes.
