Resolves #2039.

Specifically:

  • (Untagged) templates already have early errors for `\8` and `\9` so no action is needed there.
  • All engines agree that '\8' and '\9' are just '8' and '9' in sloppy mode, so specify that in B.1.2.
  • JSC has never(?) supported '\8' and '\9' in strict mode, so there should be no web compatibility risk.

Tests: tc39/test262#2654

This could just be an alias for NonOctalDigit, but I think SV would be less clean to specify that way? Feel free to correct me though.

These tests were expected to raise a syntax error
because they have a string literal containing \8 or \9,
which used to be disallowed.

However, they have been allowed (via NonOctalDecimalEscapeSequence)
since the merge of tc39/ecma262#2054.
