asm: handle comments when creating header file

In the early steps of compilation, the asm header files are created, such
as include/asm-$(TARGET_ARCH)/asm-offsets.h. These files depend on the
assembly file arch/$(TARGET_ARCH)/asm-offsets.s, which is generated
before. Depending on the used toolchain, there might be comments in the
assembly files. Especially the goto-gcc compiler of the bounded model
checker CBMC adds comments that start with a '#' symbol at the beginning
of the line.

This commit adds handling comments in assembler during the creation of the
asm header files, especially ignoring lines that start with '#', which
indicate comments for both ARM and x86 assembler. The used tool goto-as
produces exactly comments of this kind.
