Converting multiline comments to single line breaks leading asterisks.

This:

/*
**BOLD**
*italic*
*/

becomes:

// BOLD**
// italic*
//

Backlog triage:

Must set normalize_comments=true to reproduce, however the issue is not present if we rewrite the multi-line block comment with leading * on each line.

Input

/*
 * **BOLD**
 * *italic*
 */

Output

// **BOLD**
// *italic*

@calebcartwright this feels like the same underlying issue as the recently closed #5440, which had to do with the original code snippet not including the leading * for each line of the multi-line block comment. Rustfmt doesn't format markdown in line comments so it feels like there's no action to be taken on our end.
