This was for pre Ruby 2.4 support which we dropped a while ago.

While it's a very nice API, if the buffer is too big for the
stack (> 1024B) the buffer object will be mark like a stack region
which is slow and overkill for a char buffer.

Ref: #939

Instead of using %{} which works like double-quoted string and allows
escape sequences and in which "other escaped characters (a backslash
followed by a character) are interpreted as the character", change the
examples for `allow_invalid_escape` to use single-quotes strings, in
which "any other character following a backslash [except ' and \] is
interpreted as is: a backslash and the character itself."

This makes it clearer the JSON document only includes a single
backslash.

unsigned long is only 32b on some platforms.
