Subject: [PATCH] pdfwrite - fix DSC comment parsing

This may affect other DSC parsing utilities. For some reason double
comment (%%) marks are being interpreted 'sometimes' in gs_init.ps
as DSC comments. This only happens when reading the init files from disk
becuase the ROM file system strips comments.

Passing these to pdfwrite causes it to drop later DSC comments, such
as %%Title: and %%Creator: which meant the information wasn't being
embedded in the document information dictionary.

Fix by converting double %% to single % comments, document this in the
header of gs_init.ps.
