doc: Correct jsonpath string literal escapes description
The paragraph describing the JavaScript string literals allowed in jsonpath expressions unnecessarily mentions JSON by erroneously listing \v as allowed by JSON and mentioning the \xNN and \u{N...} backslash escapes as deviations from JSON when in fact both are accepted by ECMAScript/JavaScript. Fix this by only referring to JavaScript. Author: Erik Wienhold <ewie@ewie.name> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1EB17DF9-2636-484B-9DD0-3CAB19C4F5C4@justatheory.com
