ocamlyacc: support OCaml-style comments
This adds support for OCaml-style comments everywhere in ocamlyacc, in
addition to the existing support for C-style comments. The syntax is
the same as for OCaml comments in actions. It also fixes reporting of
an unterminated comment in an action, which was previously reported as
“unmatched /*” instead of “unmatched (*”
