This fix prevents the failure when the commented line does not start from
char 0. It trims anything from '#' onward and if the line is blank continue

Subject: [PATCH 09/32] Update the kim_query

-Clean up the interface and remove the unnecessary function.
-Update the error messages to be more expressive in case of a mistake.
-Update the interface and remove the strtok to be compliant with LAMMPS.

Now, kim_query can also be used with LAMMPS variable replacement, where
the variable is a LAMMPS variable string without quotation marks around it.
