[gentoo-pms] [PATCH] profiles.tex: The parent file can contain comments

Since there haven't been any further comments in reply to [1], this
patch updates the spec to allow comments in the parent file.

AFAICS, Portage and Pkgcore have always supported this, because they use
the same function for reading of all line-based files in a profile.
