cue: remove block comments and slices from the language

Block comments serve little purpose now embeddings
can uncomment large blocks. They also add quite a bit
of complexity.

Slices at the bytes and string level proved too confusing
and generally a bad idea for a data constraint language.
Using them only for lists hurts orthoganality and makes
them add too much baggage for their use, including
a fairly complicated interaction with default values.

Issue #87
