What is the problem?

When generating go code from a module that includes multi-line comments (e.g. aws/constructs), the generated code is invalid.

For example, this typescript code:

  /**
   * All parent scopes of this construct.
   *
   * @returns a list of parent scopes. The last element in the list will always
   * be the current construct and the first element will be the root of the
   * tree.
   */
  public get scopes(): IConstruct[] { ... }

Results in this go code:

	// All parent scopes of this construct.
	//
	// Returns: a list of parent scopes. The last element in the list will always
be the current construct and the first element will be the root of the
tree.
	Scopes []IConstructIface `json:"scopes"`

As you can see, we need to add // prefix to the multiline @returns docstring.
