Clarify "string continue" for (byte) string literals

The previous version just said "whitespace at the beginning of the next
line is ignored", but that is not quite correct. Currently, exactly four
characters are ignored in that position. This is different from the
definition of `char::is_whitespace` and `char::is_ascii_whitespace`.

Additionally "at the beginning of the next line" is confusing as
additional \n are also ignored.

 Line-breaks are allowed in string literals. A line-break is either a newline
