Hello Jenkins Builder,

I'd like you to reexamine a change.  Please visit

    https://gerrit.osmocom.org/3882

to look at the new patch set (#2).

VTY: allow comments in the same line as vty commands

Note: this breaks users' VTY config when a command's argument starts with a '!'
or '#'.

Allow comments following VTY commands, on the same line. Start a comment with
'!' or '#' following a space, which allows using the comment characters in
command arguments -- just not at the start of an argument.

This patch allows to do:

   remote-ip 10.23.24.1    # where to reach the STP

When they are not preceded by a space, the comment characters still count as
VTY command tokens, i.e. still allowing:

   short-name instance#23

This would parse "instance#23" as name.

(We usually use '!' as the VTY comment delimiter, but the code also allowed and
still allows using '#', hence add both '#' and '!' as same-line comment
delimiter.)
