Subject: [PATCH] fix(prompt): "%" prefix repeated on newlines with
 formatoptions+=r #34584

Problem:
With `formatoptions+=r`, the prompt prefix "%" is treated as
comment-start (because of global default 'comments' option contains
"%"), so it gets added to the start of the line when a new line
is input in a prompt.

Solution:
Unset the 'comments' option in prompt buffers by default.
