fix(preprocessor): SafeNavProcessor now skips comments

Fixed SafeNavProcessor to ignore `?.` operators inside comments:
- Added comment detection at start of processLine()
- Skip lines where all `?.` occurrences are in comments
- Skip trailing `?.` validation if inside comment
- Reuses findCommentStart() from null_coalesce.go

Impact:
- ✅ null_coalesce_02_integration now preprocesses successfully
- Fixes "trailing safe navigation operator without property: with?." error
- Still has parse error at line 173 (separate issue)
- Test pass rate: 45/52 (86.5%)
