Fix syntax error when comment appears between index and table call#1061JohnnyMorganz merged 1 commit intomainfrom

When a single-line comment appeared between an index suffix (like `.foo`)
and a table call argument (`{}`), the formatter would place the opening
parenthesis/brace on the same line as the comment, causing it to be
commented out and producing invalid Lua syntax.
For example, `foo.bar -- comment { x }` was being formatted as:
```
foo
.bar -- comment({
x,
})
```
Now the anonymous call is correctly placed on a new line when the
previous suffix has trailing single-line comments:
```
foo
.bar -- comment
({
x,
})
```
