line continuation operator

[jayvdb]

When there is a line continuation operator, any auto-ignore comments on the last continued line should apply to all lines. This is another example of the multi-line regex problem (#4). In this case, it is an implicit multi-line regex, and can be implemented only for auto-ignore comments, which may be easier than the more generic solution.

The reason is that comments can not appear after line continuation operator. The following is a SyntaxError:

if True \  # flake8: xxx
        and False:
    print('not reached')

So, it must be

if True \
        and False:  # flake8: xxx
    print('not reached')

And that comment needs to apply to the previous line as well, in a predicable manner (strip all whitespace).
