After a backslash, the # character should not begin a comment

[lkashef]

The problem

Everything after # on line 5 is highlighted as a comment, while it should not be allowed.

sudo dnf remove -y \
krdc \
kmail \
kgpg \
krusader \ # the old kde twinstyle file manager
kruler

Example from atom/language-shellscript#150

The Solution

• We could either highlight this comment as an error to warn the user that this is not allowed.
• The quick solution would be not to scope what's after the # is a comment, thus not misleading the user and also not breaking the highlighting after the comment, since line 6 is considered a separate function call, rather than part of the sudo command.
