commit r17-2733-g4eb61759ef5b2a4f67c391f4bbd31d6f9178967f

    cobol: Accept NUL in comments.
    
    Previously gcobol reported an error if a NUL appeared in the
    input. Now a NUL in a comment does not affect compilation.
    
    gcc/cobol/ChangeLog:
    
            * lexio.cc (cdftext::free_form_reference_format): Use new sanitize_nul function.
            * lexio.h (struct filespan_t): Define sanitize_nul().
