Public bug reported:

JSON encoded bytes may include literal (that is, UTF-8 encoded) U+2028
or U+2029.  However, JavaScript string literals may not.  See
http://timelessrepo.com/json-isnt-a-javascript-subset for any more
detail that may be interesting.

Athena's JavaScript parser (browser-side JavaScript eval) cannot parse
these literals.  If we emit escaped versions of the line terminators,
the parser won't need to change.
