gas: consistently drop trailing whitespace when scrubbing
From especially the checks for the two separator forms it appears to follow that the construct being touched is about trailing whitespace. In such a case, considering that for many targets ordinary and line comment chars overlap, take into account that line comment chars override ordinary ones in lex[] (logic elsewhere in do_scrub_chars() actually depends on that ordering, and also accounts for this overriding). Plus of course IS_NEWLINE() would better also be consulted. Note also that the DOUBLESLASH_LINE_COMMENTS change should generally have no effect just yet; it's a prereq for a later change but better fits here. Leave respective comments as well, and update documentation to correct which comment form is actually replaced by a single blank (i.e. neither the ones starting with what {,tc_}comment_chars[] has nor the ones starting with what line_comment_chars[] has).
