Incorrect Java syntax highlighting for parentheses inside strings inside parentheses beginning a new line

[aeschli]

• VSCode Version: 1.6.0
• OS Version: Windows 7 (64-bit)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a new file a select the Java language mode
2. Paste the following code into the editor:

new String 
    ("(A)" + "B");
new String("Following line");

"String", the quoted string literal, and all syntax following this line will be miscoloured. Compare:

new String("(A)" + "B");
new String("Following line");

Interestingly, GitHub's colourizer also seems to suffer from the same issue.
