config.c: retain leading whitespace before comments

Configurations loaded with the ast_config_load2() API and later written
out with ast_config_text_file_save2() will have any leading whitespace
stripped away.  The APIs should make reasonable efforts to maintain the
content and formatting of the configuration files.

This change retains any leading whitespace from comment lines that start
with a ";".
