_inputstream.EncodingParser fails to parse short bogus comments (prescan) #427

Description

@openandclose

I think abrupt-closing-of-empty-comment ('<!-->' and '<!--->')
should be treated as normal comments in prescan as well.

for '<!-->', the spec states rather explicitly.

The two 0x2D bytes can be the same as those in the '<!--' sequence.'

prescan:

abrupt-closing-of-empty-comment:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#parse-error-abrupt-closing-of-empty-comment

C.f.
jsdom/html-encoding-sniffer has the same bug.
jsdom/html-encoding-sniffer#4
Validator treats them as comments.
