fix missing-required-imports introducing syntax error after dosctring ending with backslash (#19505)
Issue: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/19498

## Summary


[missing-required-import](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/missing-required-import/)
inserts the missing import on the line immediately following the last
line of the docstring. However, if the dosctring is immediately followed
by a continuation token (i.e. backslash) then this leads to a syntax
error because Python interprets the docstring and the inserted import to
be on the same line.

The proposed solution in this PR is to check if the first token after a
file docstring is a continuation character, and if so, to advance an
additional line before inserting the missing import.

## Test Plan

Added a unit test, and the following example was verified manually:

Given this simple test Python file:

```python
"Hello, World!"\

print(__doc__)
```

and this ruff linting configuration in the `pyproject.toml` file:

```toml
[tool.ruff.lint]
select = ["I"]

[tool.ruff.lint.isort]
required-imports = ["import sys"]
```

Without the changes in this PR, the ruff linter would try to insert the
missing import in line 2, resulting in a syntax error, and report the
following:

`error: Fix introduced a syntax error. Reverting all changes.`

With the changes in this PR, ruff correctly advances one more line
before adding the missing import, resulting in the following output:

```python
"Hello, World!"\

import sys

print(__doc__)
```
