I think the 'control char' escapes such as \ca are not handled correctly

Description
JS regex flavour defines a set of escape codes prefixed with `\c`:
> `\cX`: Matches a control character using [caret notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caret_notation), where `"X"` is a letter from A–Z (corresponding to codepoints `U+0001–U+001F`). For example, `/\cM/` matches `"\r"` in `"\r\n"`.

Another example:
```js
/\ca/.test('\u0001')
-> true
```
But currently it seems like RandExp treats `\ca` as "escaped `c` followed by `a`":
```js
new RandExp(/\ca/).gen()
-> "ca"
/\ca/.test("ca")
-> false
```
