Nicholas Nethercote c375f811f6 Bug 1035570 (part 2) - DMD: make output easier for machines to parse. r=erahm.
There are likely to be post-processing scripts for DMD added in the future. In
anticipation, this patch tweaks DMD's output to be a little more conducive to
machine parsing.

The basic idea is this:

- Lines beginning with '#' are comments and can be ignored, as can blank lines.

- All top level blocks consist of a string ending with '{', and then one or
  more indented lines, and then a closing '}' on its own line. Any multi-line
  things within a block are themselves enclosed in braces.

The diff for memory/replace/dmd/test-expected.dmd shows what this looks like in
practice.

It's a long way from a formal grammar or anything like that, but that would be
overkill. In this form it's quite easy to parse with simple scripts that just
do line-based regexp matching, rather than proper parsing. And it's still very
readable to humans, so I think it's a reasonable balance overall.
