Panic due to improper UTF-8 indexing
Details
When parsing untrusted rulex expressions, rulex may panic, possibly enabling a Denial of Service attack. This happens when the expression contains a multi- byte UTF-8 code point in a string literal or after a backslash, because rulex tries to slice into the code point and panics as a result.
The flaw was corrected in commits `fac6d58b25` and `330b3534e7` by using `len_utf8()` to derive character width in bytes instead of assuming ASCII encoding of 1 byte per char.
