Newlines in lua scripts are saved as the \n char combination in
savegames, and in stings that continue over newlines (continued with \
then newline), that is saved as \\n in the savegame. When the savegame
is restored, newlines are inserted in the strings causing lua syntax
errors.

The result is that the lua script is not run properly when loading games.

Using 2.1 branch r13060
To reproduce:
Start a new game with the tutorial scenario
Save during the first turn
Leave, load the save

Is this a regression? Does it depend on lua version?
