Bugfix: FSS Basic List and FSS Extended List print comment at the start of the Content.
When the Content exists at the start of the Content, the comment character ('#') is printed when it should not be printed.
This is a bug where the code initializes the newline_last at the range.start.
The code logic then always expects the newline_last to represent an actual new line.
This is not necessarily the case for when newline_last is pointing to the initial range.start position.
Add a check when processing a comment to ensure that the newline_last is in fact a new line.
Restructure the not used checks to a single location to make reading the code easier.
Make sure to only increment the line on empty Content when the empty Content flag is set.

Progress: Improve FSS program processing and fix related bugs.
Clean up the logic in the fll_fss functions, removing redundant code.
Improve handling of F_fss_found_object_content_not cases in a more consistent manner.
Improve logic of the fll_fss payload functions.
Remove dead code that does nothing.
Have the payload processing properly determine and communicate when the "payload" section is missing.
Update the documentation comments.
Improve the FSS read programs relating to the above changes.
Fix problems in the FSS read programs where sometimes the EOL string is directly printed rather than calling the appropriate object/content end callbacks.
The callbacks handle the uses cases for when the pipe is used but the direct EOL string printing does not.
Rename the FSS read progams print functions to have the "data", "message", "error", and such practice be more consistently followed.
This fixes several of the problems in the FSS Read programs where the "-e/--empty" parameter is not being properly respected in many cases.
I am not sure I got all of the situations and the logic from all of the changes that I made needs some review.
For the FSS payload read program, add a new special parameter called "--payload".
This allows giving the user more control over how to handle the cases where the payload section does not exist.
Specifically, there is a payload "create" mode that allows for ensuring that the "payload" section always exists.
This should ideally help make scripting simpler and therefore easier.
The parameters must be re-processed once the '-A" is passed for the fss_read combined program.
I added a print_content_empty callback and then commented it out in this commit.
This seems like it would be practical to have but I am not certain any FSS specification would need this at this time.
Further investigation is needed in this regard.
Add some more TODO and FIXME comments so that when I come back to this code and can better resume where I left off.
The following Content should now be returned:
[0] = "
[1] = b
[2] = c
[3] = d.
This adds a new FSS state flag 'f_fss_state_quote_not_e' to give the caller the ability to manually designate that the quotes are being disabled.
Currently only the FSS Extended utilizes this flag.
Refactor the private function private_fl_fss_basic_read() into private_fl_fss_basic_or_extended_read() to make it more explicitly clear that it provides functionality fo both FSS Basic and FSS Extended.
This changes to the code such that when an unterminated quote is detected then the calling function will set the disable quote flag and then call the function again.
Writing these unit tests exposed some bugs, such as:
- The one solve in commit ba257a8b8385ec8dedfc9bc9bb596e420ca552f8.
- The FSS extended read is not handling unterminated single quote correctly.
An unterminated single quote in an extended requires that the quotes be treated as normal text, as per the standard.
This means that the quote should be broken up into unquoted content.
This is not the case and is considered a bug.
For example, consider the following line:
a " b c d.
That line is currently being interpreted by extended read as a single content called:
[0] = " b c d.
Instead, this should end up being 4 contents:
[0] = "
[1] = b
[2] = c
[3] = d.
The unit tests files that I created here should expect this and therefore the extended read tests currently fail.
I am also adding the basic list tests but I did not get to implementing the basic list content read tests yet.
The test data files exist but I need to review them and write the appropriate code.
The extended list and the embedded list tests are not yet written.

Bugfix: Incorrect stop position is calculated when FSS content ends at the start position on FSS read operations.
When the start position is say, 0, and the determined stop position ends up being 0, then an incorrect stop range is calculated.
This happens because the stop position is subtracting one from the current position.
Add checks to ensure that the stop position is never subtracted beyond the initial start position.
The initial start position is saved at the beginning of each affected FSS read function.
This now potentially returns a start range before the stop range.
The FSS read programs should also need to be updated following this commit to handle these cases.
