Scanner properly scans multiline natspec comments

- Single and multiline natspect comments get the initial whitespace
  skipped now

- Some rules introduced for the multiline comments. If first line is
  empty then no newline is added to the literal. Same thing with the
  last line. Finally in all lines initial '*' are skipped
