Block comments in Lua were broken, apparently due to the opening
sequence being interpreted as a line comment. Changing the order in the
highlighter seems to fix this issue.
That means we can now have highlighters active at global, buffer, and
window scope. The add-highlighter and remove-highlighter syntax changed
to take the parent path (scope/group/...) as a mandatory argument,
superseeding the previous -group switch.
boost regex tolerates non-escaped special characters, and escaped
non-special characters. Standardize on stricter syntax, where
special characters must be escaped, and non-special characters must
not.
The option is now used as a fallback when detection by extension fails. Some
scripts like `base/mail.kak` and `base/html.kak` still rely heavily on it.
Initialising the `comment_line_chars` and `comment_selection_chars` variables
in language support scripts created a hard dependency of those scripts
to `commenting.kak`, which would create errors when this script was not
loaded, e.g. when running tests.
