Problem: With cindent, a closing brace inside a comment (e.g. "// }")
causes wrong indentation of the following line, because
findmatchlimit() does not skip single-line comments when
searching backwards for a matching brace.
Solution: When searching backwards for a matching brace, always check
for single-line comments and skip bracket characters found
inside them. The forward search case is not yet handled.

fixes: #19578
