Allow embedded ; and # in values

ini file processing in windows, the embedded ; and # are valid values. Take for example an sql connect string or statement in an ini file.

Not being able to allow this makes this package difficult to use in windows environments

It appears that all that would be required is to condition this block of code

	i := strings.IndexAny(line, "#;")
	if i > -1 {
		p.comment.WriteString(line[i:])
		line = strings.TrimSpace(line[:i])
	}

beginning at line 228 in parser.go

Will add an option for this.

See usage:

Line 211 in 1730955

    
           cfg, err := LoadSources(LoadOptions{IgnoreInlineComment: true}, []byte(`key1=value ;comment

Works as advertised!
thank you
