Allow the qtest input to include comment lines, which start with '#'.
This allows writing an input file for qtest which includes commentary,
like this:

  # set up TCR in bank 0
  write 0x1001000e 2 0
  # TCR TXEN
  write 0x10010000 2 1

which can make hand-writing or annotating reproduce cases a bit
more convenient.
