Consider removing support for \xHH characters

Description

This is not a big deal, but among the list of differences between LispReader and tools.reader behavior, this one seems a bit odd. \xHH isn't supported in EDN, nor in Clojure, and anything that can be specified with \xHH can be specified as \u00HH or in octal.
