config: be strict on core.commentChar

We don't support comment _strings_ (at least not yet). And multi-byte
character encoding could also be misinterpreted.

The test with two commas is updated because it violates this. It's
added with the patch that introduces core.commentChar in eff80a9
(Allow custom "comment char" - 2013-01-16). It's not clear to me _why_
that behavior is wanted.
