This pull request adds support for HTML5-style comments (with relevant tests). Everything between comment delimiters <!-- and --> gets ignored during parsing. For example the the following template gets parsed as h("div", null):

html`
  <div>
    <!-- Everything between the comment
         delimiters get ignored, including <tags>,
         newlines and ${'variables'} -->
  </div>
`;

A deviation from the HTML5 standard is that the text between the delimiters can start with > and ->.

html`
  <div>
    <!-->This is also ignored<!-->
  </div>
`;

The .mjs.br size grows from 540 to 564 bytes for the regular build. The mini version grows from 376 to 398 bytes.

Closes #79.

@jviide can we possibly adjust this PR a bit to support other types of unclosed tags, ideally customizable by consumer?

Standard declarations:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!doctype html>
<![CDATA[ ...  ]]>
<!-- comment -->
<!--[if expression]> HTML <![endif]-->

Standard unclosed tags:
<br>
<hr>
...

Custom tags:
<...>
<#selector>
<.selector>

(related issue #91 (comment))

That will be super-useful for consuming frameworks and should not add much size to the parser.
Eg.

import htm from 'htm'

// the dict of reserved single tags with (possibly) handlers?
htm.single = { '!--': true, '?xml': true, br: true, hr: true}
// the default is { '!--': true }

@dy that would add quite a bit of size since currently the parser tags/tokens get inlined.

In general, I don't want to do anything that takes htm off of its very narrowly scoped path of being a JSX equivalent. That being said, if you think it'd be worth having a project that exposes @jviide's parser as a standalone module, I could see that being interesting and worthwhile. It just can't really be part of htm itself.

Merged in the changes from the current master. The final size is 588 B (up from 563 B) for the regular build and 417 B (up from 394 B) for the mini build.
