TagFile: Fix off-by-one errors in comment stripping
Adding 1 to the value of d->End - current makes restLength one byte too long: If we pass memchr(current, ..., restLength) has thus undefined behavior. Also, reading the value of current has undefined behavior if current >= d->End, not only for current > d->End: Consider a string of length 1, that is d->End = d->Current + 1. We can only read at d->Current + 0, but d->Current + 1 is beyond the end of the string. This probably caused several inexplicable build failures on hurd-i386 in the past, and just now caused a build failure on Ubuntu's amd64 builder. Reported-By: valgrind (cherry picked from commit 923c592ceb6014b31ec751b97b3ed659fa3e88ae)
