regedit.list() throws SyntaxError when data includes tab (s) about node-regedit HOT 5 CLOSED

https://github.com/ironSource/node-regedit/blob/45514bed635114891589abc2c554458417c3b8fc/lib/helper.js#L51

this.push(JSON.parse(chunk))

When chunk including \t, the \t must be escaped with \ according to RFC4627 JSON https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt, page 4.

Check:

coffee> JSON.parse('["\\t"]')
[ '\t' ]
coffee> JSON.parse('["\t"]')
SyntaxError: Unexpected token   
  at Object.parse (native)

Additional replacement processes to escape extended characters (e.g., tab, backspace, etc.) are needed in Function JsonSafe.

The replacement rule are written in RFC 4627 Section "2.5. Strings" https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt, page 4.

Thanks
