Jon Ross-PerkinsandChandler Carruth 0db96ebc52 Stitch together adjacent comments using the indent. (#4397)
This is improving the comment production to produce fewer distinct
comments.

At present, comment processing uses strict prefix matching. It either
expects `// ` (with a space) for valid comments, or just `//` (without a
space) for invalid comments that lacked the space.

As a consequence, the following would be three comments:

```
// Comment 1
//
//
// Comment 4
```

This is because a 3-character prefix is used for valid comments. The
prefix switches between lines 1 and 2, and again between lines 3 and 4,
each resulting in a separate comment.

For contrast, this is one comment because only a 2-character prefix is
used:

```
//Comment 1
//
//
//Comment 4
```

That's because all lines lack a suffix space.

Additionally, with SIMD 16-byte boundaries, further splits can occur if
processing needs to transition to non-SIMD.

Here, I'm trying to just address all of this by:

1. Stitching together adjacent comments. Since a lexed comment starts at
the `//` excluding the indent, the delta from the prior comment must be
precisely the indent.
2. Adding support for switching from SIMD to non-SIMD on file
boundaries.

I considered trying to have a separate `//\n` prefix for SIMD processing
of `// `, but I wasn't sure about the tradeoff of doing both at the same
time (in particular, it'd require constructing a string for the
different prefix), thus this stitch approach. This does mean multiple
passes will be required for a typical long comment structure using blank
comment lines to separate paragraphs (for performance reasons, I will
recommend engineers not write comm... nevermind).
