    [ng] vars: recognize escaped '#' correctly in a variable definition
    
    Regression revealed by a failure in test 't/backslash-tricks.sh', and
    caused by the recent merge of the 'ng/var-simplify' branch.
    
    It is worth noting that this change has a collateral effect: comments
    placed after the variable definition *must* now be separated with one
    or more spaces from said definition:
    
       # This won't work, and will produce a subtly broken Makefile
       foo = val# comment
       foo += val2
    
       # Please do this instead
       foo = val # comment
       foo += val2
    
    We believe that supporting the use of escaped '#' characters in variable
    definitions is more important than supporting the fringe case above.
    
    * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (raw_value): Fix processing of stored value
    to account for escaped '#' characters.
    (value): Add a FIXME comment about a statement that is not strictly
    true anymore now that we assume GNU make.
    * t/backslash-tricks.sh: Extend a bit.
    * t/comment8.sh: Relax a bit, by placing spaces between the variable's
    definitions and the comments on the same line.  Extend in another
    respect, to watch against a regression introduced by the first draft of
    this commit.
