Policy Plus - Comments in Semantic Policy

One user found that Policy Plus doesn't have a convenient way to export POL files and keep the policies' comments with the policy states. Preserving comments in POL files would be difficult because they never hold comments at all - that's what CMTX files are for. The existing Semantic Policy (SPOL) format seems ideal for keeping everything about each policy together, so today I extended it a bit to include an optional Comment: line between the policy ID and the general state. Since comments can include newline characters, those are escaped as \n and backslashes as \\. The Inspect SPOL Fragment form has been updated to provide the comments from the appropriate policy-to-comment map.

I also updated the ADMX download URL to point to the package for Windows 10 1803.

These changes are live on GitHub.
