[issue37944] Adjacent escape character in json.load()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

There is no a bug.

"\\\"" is the same as r"\\" -- a 2-charackter string consisting of a backslash character and a doublequote character. r"\\\"" is a different string, it contains 3 backslash characters.

>>> print("\\\"")
\"
>>> print(repr("\\\""))
'\\"'
