A '#' that begins a comment must be preceded by whitespace or open the
line; glued to earlier same-line content (e.g. "value"# c, [ a, b ]#c,
>#c, a flow entry then ,#c) it is neither a comment nor, in those
positions, plain-scalar content, so the document is malformed. Such input
was previously accepted as a comment.
A '#' that opens a line, follows a space, or sits inside a plain scalar
(a#b, where it stays literal content and never reaches this check) is
unaffected. The scanner tracks whether a real token has been scanned on
the current physical line, reset on each line break, rather than comparing
token line numbers: the streaming tokenizer drains its token buffer
between scans, and a block scalar's blank line emits an empty scalar
attributed to the next line, either of which would misread as content.
Measured against the official YAML test-suite, parse-level conformance
rises from 243/333 (73.0%) to 247/333 (74.2%): four wrongly-accepted
invalid documents are now rejected, with no valid document regressing.
The scalar-scanning routines move to Scanner.Scalars.swift to keep the
file within the length limit.
