Bug description:  Filter SANITIZE_STRING only filters backslash when escaping

Description:
------------
The filter FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING only filters out a backslash when it is
escaping something. This means if a backslash is entered into a form
without escaping anything, it will not be filtered and could be executed
into SQL, therefore triggering an escape within the SQL and generating an
error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$value = '\'example';
echo filter_var($value, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING).'<br />';

$value = '\example';
echo filter_var($value, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING).'<br />';
?>

Expected result:
----------------
'example
example

Actual result:
--------------
'example
\example
