Description of Problem:
Newlines are forbidden in single-quoted character literals according to the
spec (ECMA-344 9.4.4.4), but mcs accepts this construct.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. char x='
';
2. Save source file in Unix line-ending format.
2. mcs foo.cs

Actual Results:
MCS compiles this without complaint.

Expected Results:
This should probably trigger a CS1010 'Newline in constant' error, as
csc.exe in .NET 1.1 does.

How often does this happen? 
Every time.

Additional Information:
If the file is saved in DOS format, this will (also) trigger a CS1012 for
having too many characters on both csc and mcs.

Tested with Mono compiled from SVN a couple weeks ago on Linux, and Mono
1.1.7 on Windows XP.
