lang/emacs-lisp: optimize var/face highlighting

A slight performance improvement in files with a lot of comments and
strings, by skipping ahead a line if in a comment and to the next double
quote if in a string. Otherwise, this function would visit every symbol
in between, and syntax-ppss calls are relatively expensive here.
