Explicitly mark fallthrough cases with comments

A lot of compilers nowadays generate warnings when there are cases in a
switch statement which implicitly fall through to the next case. To
avoid this warning, the last line in the case that is falling through
can have a comment matching a regular expression, where one possible
comment body would be `/* fall through */`.

An alternative to the comment would be an explicit attribute like e.g.
`[[clang::fallthrough]` or `__attribute__ ((fallthrough))`. But GCC only
introduced support for such an attribute recently with GCC 7. Thus, and
also because the fallthrough comment is supported by most compilers, we
settle for using comments instead.

One shortcoming of that method is that compilers are very strict about
that. Most interestingly, that comment _really_ has to be the last line.
In case a closing brace follows the comment, the heuristic will fail.
