A macro name ending in R might expand to a string; if this precedes a
string constant, we're juxtaposing the strings. My first parser for
raw strings would mistake it for a raw string instead, ignoring the
part of the identifier before R. Re-worked the exploration of what
came before the string to catch these cases, too.
The backwards parsing would also allow any messy jumble of [RLUu8]* as
prefix for the string; but in fact R must (if present) be last in the
prefix and *it* can have at most one prefix, [LUu] or u8. Anything
else is an identifier that happens to precede the string. Reworked
the parsing to allow only one prefix and not treat R specially unless
it's immediately (modulo BSNL) before the string's open-quotes.
Add link to the cppreference page about string literals, on which the
grammar now parsed is based.
Added a test for the issue this addresses.
Verified that this fails on 5.6, dev and 5.9 without the fix.
Expanded the existing test to cover R-with-prefix cases.

Can't sensibly test unless the compiler does support raw strings,
since any test that would catch qmake's (prior) inability to parse raw
strings would necessarily confuse the C++ compiler in the same way.
This even applies (in test app code) to any #if-ery around the raw
string, since tokenization happens before preprocessor directives are
resolved. So the #if-ery on Q_COMPILER_RAW_STRINGS has to be in
tst_qmake.cpp, not the test app it builds.
