go/scanner: don't eat \r in comments if that shortens the comment

For consistent formatting across platforms we strip \r's from
comments. This happens in the go/scanner which already does
this for raw string literals where it is mandated by the spec.
But if a (sequence of) \r appears in a regular (/*-style) comment
between a * and a /, removing that (sequence of) \r shortens that
text segment to */ which terminates the comment prematurely.

Don't do it.

As an aside, a better approach would be to not touch comments,
(and raw string literals for that matter) in the scanner and
leave the extra processing to clients. That is the approach
taken by the cmd/compile/internal/syntax package. However, we
probably can't change the semantics here too much, so just do
the minimal change that doesn't produce invalid comments. It's
an esoteric case after all.

Fixes #11151.
