[issue17906] JSON should accept lone surrogates

[Bob Ippolito]

Bob Ippolito added the comment:

The patch that I wrote for simplejson is here (it differs a bit from serhiy's patch): https://github.com/simplejson/simplejson/commit/35816bfe2d0ddeb5ddcc68239683cbb35b7e3ff2

I discovered another bug along the way in the pure-Python scanstring, int(s, 16) will parse '0xNN' when json expects only strings of the form 'NNNN' to work. I fixed that along with this issue by explicitly checking for x or X.
