Simplify code for parsing comments

[jeltz]

The code was hard to read for no obvious gain so this attempts to make the code read more like one would expect. Also remove a redundant comment.

There's also a possible over-read in this code. While the pr only aims for simplification, should we also fix that too, if we are already changing this area of code?

SELECT 1 /*tail*/ or SELECT 1 /*oops

inner while loop consumes */ and points to the null. End of foor loop increases pointer again. *q_iter used by the for loop is now the character after null.

The unterminated comment is similar, the while loop already ends with q_iter pointing to the null byte.

@dutow Does this fix look correct for the over-read?

[dutow]

Looks good now.

We should add more coverage to this (the cases I already mentioned for asan + maybe something like SELECT 1 /*a*//*b*/, but that can also be a separate PR.

Another question: since this now also includes a bugfix, it should have a proper ticket?
