[components][expression_language] Add doc for backslashes

Additional backslashes are required to escape a backslash(``\``)
in a string or regex because a string will be stripped by the lexer.
This should be documented here, otherwise, user may feel confused about
the unexpected behavior.

     You must use parenthesis because the unary operator ``not`` has precedence
     over the binary operator ``matches``.
 
+    A backslash(``\``) must be escaped by 4 backslashes(``\\\\``) in a string and
+    8 backslashes(``\\\\\\\\``) in a regex::
+
+        $language->evaluate('"\\\\"');

+    Control characters must be defined as the escaped form of their escape sequences.
+    Otherwise, they will be replaced by spaces and ignored::
+
+        $language->evaluate('"a\nb"');
+        // returns a b

+
+    This is because the backslashes in a string will be stripped by the
+    ``stripcslashes()`` function and the stripped slashes in a regex will be
+    stripped again by the regex engine.
