Make the ctags parser ignore function definitions in Matlab files written within block comments, like:

%{
function y = This(is, not, a, function, definition)
%}

function y = But(this, is)

%{ not a block comment ("%{" needs to be on a line on its own)
    function y = And(also, this)
%}

Block comments are useful for commenting out entire sections of code which may include function definitions, specially since they can be nested (which is also handled appropriately by this PR).

Additionally, this PR allows function declarations to be indented. This is quite common when defining class methods within a class.

This PR is a continuation of PR #3358, which I understand was ready to merge but has been sitting there for a while. So by merging this PR you also get that one. Two for the price of one!
(I didn't make this a separate PR because it touches some of the same lines #3358 touches, so making it a separate PR would have led to merge conflicts in the future. Each individual feature is implemented as a separate commit though.)
