    gas: ignore ONLY_STANDARD_ESCAPES in scrubber
    
    The handling there is broken in several ways:
    - It gets in the way of macro parameter names starting with one of the not
      special cased values.
    - For perhaps a small set of targets (SINGLE_QUOTE_STRINGS, M68k MRI
      mode): While the "quotechar" static variable allows for string quotation
      by other than '"', the case labels circumventing the warning only (and
      potentially wrongly) cover '"'.
    
    read.c:next_char_of_string() having similar checking in place, drop the
    special casing (as as_warn() invocation) from here.
    
    While adjusting macros/macros.exp XFAIL-ary for an affected testcase,
    correct the referenced manifest symbol at the same time.
