fix: do not emit nested comments

With input such as

    %token<fl> yVL_CLOCK "/*verilator sc_clock*/"

we generate

    yVL_CLOCK = 610,      /* "/*verilator sc_clock*/"  */

which is invalid since the comment will actually be closed on the
first "*/".  Let's turn "*/" into "*\/" to avoid this.  But GCC will
also warn about "/*" inside a comment, so let's "escape" it too.

Some tests were fixed.
When token aliases contain comment delimiters:
%token FOO "/* foo */"
bison used to emit "nested" comments, which is invalid C.
