Minimalcss fails on CSS selectors with backslashes #422

Description

@cappe

HTML classes may include colons, e.g. <h1 class="md:title">Title</h1>.

As per the CSS spec, a corresponding CSS selector would be: .md\:title { font-size: 32px; }. Note that the colon is escaped by the backslash (\).

I found out that the minimalcss fails if the CSS includes selectors with backslashes:

// style.css

.md\:title {
	font-size: 32px;
}

See the line source: '.md\\'

I double checked that the CSSTree can handle this case just fine so I dove into the source of minimalcss. I found the method in src/utils.js#reduceCSSSelector which seemed to cause the issue. I think I figured out a solution as well so happy to open up a PR.

Thanks for the great tool though. I was about to do it on my own but luckily stumbled upon this by googling around.
