 HTML API: Fix detection of single-length funky comments.

 Since [60428] the Tag Processor has been misidentifying single-character
 funky comments. It has been asserting that the full token-length for a
 funky comment must be at least three characters after the opening (e.g.
 `</1>`), but it has been starting to look for the closing `>` after
 those same three characters. This means that it has been skipping the
 actual close of these funky comments and swallowing up the next syntax
 until it finds a `>`, often consuming the next tag in the process.

 This patch fixes the detector and restores finding the following token.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/6412
