In addition to normal identifiers, support parsing identifiers of the format
$"...". This format is not yet allowed by the standard, but it is a popular
proposed extension (see WebAssembly/spec#617 and
WebAssembly/annotations#21).

Binaryen has historically allowed a similar format and has supported arbitrary
non-standard identifier characters, so it's much easier to support this extended
syntax than to fix everything to use the restricted standard syntax.
