Finish cleaning up backend's handling of /* ... */ and -- comments, 

per pghackers discussion around 20-Feb.  Also add specific error messages
for unterminated comments and unterminated quoted strings.  These things
are nonissues for input coming from psql, but they do matter for input
coming from other front ends.

/* C-style comments
* Ignored by the scanner and parser.
*
* The "extended comment" syntax closely resembles allowable operator syntax.
* The tricky part here is to get lex to recognize a string starting with
* slash-star as a comment, when interpreting it as an operator would produce
* a longer match --- remember lex will prefer a longer match! So, we have
* to provide a special rule for xcline (a complete comment that could
* otherwise look like an operator), as well as append {op_and_self}* to
* xcstart so that it matches at least as much as {operator} would.
* Then the tie-breaker (first matching rule of same length) wins.
* There is still a problem if someone writes, eg, slash-star-star-slash-plus.
* It'll be taken as an xcstart, rather than xcline and an operator as one
* could wish. I don't see any way around that given lex's behavior;
* that someone will just have to write a space after the comment.
* a longer match --- remember lex will prefer a longer match! Also, if we
* have something like plus-slash-star, lex will think this is a 3-character
* operator whereas we want to see it as a + operator and a comment start.
* The solution is two-fold:
* 1. append {op_and_self}* to xcstart so that it matches as much text as
* {operator} would. Then the tie-breaker (first matching rule of same
* length) ensures xcstart wins. We put back the extra stuff with yyless()
* in case it contains a star-slash that should terminate the comment.
* 2. In the operator rule, check for slash-star within the operator, and
* if found throw it back with yyless(). This handles the plus-slash-star
* problem.
* SQL92-style comments, which start with dash-dash, have similar interactions
* with the operator rule.
