tools: bpftool: Remove invalid \' json escape
RFC8259 ("The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format") only specifies \", \\, \/, \b, \f, \n, \r, and \r as valid two-character escape sequences. This does not include \', which is not required in JSON because it exclusively uses double quotes as string separators. Solidus (/) may be escaped, but does not have to. Only reverse solidus (\), double quotes ("), and the control characters have to be escaped. Therefore, with this fix, bpftool correctly supports all valid two-character escape sequences (but still does not support characters that require multi-character escape sequences). Witout this fix, attempting to load a JSON file generated by bpftool using Python 3.10.6's default json.load() may fail with the error "Invalid \escape" if the file contains the invalid escaped single quote (\').
