Adding more background here, after zsh-workers/42355, which updated the way here docs are processed, some open source configuration scripts that used to comment last backslash before new line broke.

What I did on this patch is move the comparison when a backslash is found, not when the new line is found. I added some new tests for this specific scenario.

What was changed on 42355 is still working, as the tests added at the time still shows up.

Can someone review it, please?
