utils: add a helper class to lit for captured substitutions

On Windows, if the substitution contains a back reference, it would
removed due to the replacement of the escape character in lit. Create a
helper class to avoid this which will simply ignore the replacement and
mark the substitution as having capture groups being referenced.
