Fix alembic.ini templates to match configparser file format.
In the `alembic.ini` templates, I moved the inline comment about `version_path_separator` to their own lines as required by `configparser`.
### Description
In a recent project, I included the following configuration values in my `alembic.ini`. Note that the last line is the default line from the current generic `alembic.ini` template.
```
# version location specification; This defaults
# to migrations/versions. When using multiple version
# directories, initial revisions must be specified with --version-path.
# The path separator used here should be the separator specified by "version_path_separator" below.
version_locations = %(here)s/migrations/versions
# version path separator; As mentioned above, this is the character used to split
# version_locations. The default within new alembic.ini files is "os", which uses os.pathsep.
# If this key is omitted entirely, it falls back to the legacy behavior of splitting on spaces and/or commas.
# Valid values for version_path_separator are:
#
# version_path_separator = :
# version_path_separator = ;
# version_path_separator = space
version_path_separator = os # Use os.pathsep. Default configuration used for new projects.
```
When running `alembic check`, I encountered:
```
ValueError: 'os # Use os.pathsep. Default configuration used for new projects.' is not a valid value for version_path_separator; expected 'space', 'os', ':', ';'
```
It seemed that the comment in the last line was being included as part of the parsed config value, which should be `os`.
Alembic currently [uses `configparser.ConfigParser` from the standard libary](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/alembic/blob/2d60c77c81a72a78b575b96aef511e658073dec5/alembic/util/compat.py#L82-L89) to parse `alembic.ini` files. The [default `configparser` file format](https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#supported-ini-file-structure) requires that comments be on their own lines, although this can be customized. I changed the three copies of this line in Alembic's `alembic.ini` templates to remove the inline comments. In my case, this change fixed the `ValueError`.
This issue could also be fixed by changing [the default instance of `ConfigParser`](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/alembic/blob/2d60c77c81a72a78b575b96aef511e658073dec5/alembic/config.py#L202), using `inline_comment_prefixes=("#",)`. I imagine, however, that it might be better to use the default file format.
