[Bug preprocessor/31195] New: incorrect handling of backslashes in comments

[matti dot sangi at nokia dot com]

a.c:
====
/*
A \
BC
*/
<eof>

Excecute a comment-preserving preprocessing:
$ gcc -E -P -C a.c
/*
A BC
C
*/

Notice the extra 'C', which is a bug.

This bug has some significance as in this particular case there is another tool
that has interest in the content of the C comment and now that tool fails.
