(back_comment): Use one switch rather than a few `if's.

Obey open_paren_in_column_0_is_defun_start.

of nested comments by checking that the comment-starter we found
does indeed match the comment-ender.
(scan_sexps_forward, scan_sexps_forward):
Ignore excessive opening parenthesis rather than throwing an error.
