Description
Since Roku OS 11.5, Roku has supported continue for and continue while statements. However, brighterscript believes the "continue for" is the beginning of a for loop and errors or tries to adjust spacing. Adding support for this will also fix issue https://github.com/rokucommunity/brighterscript/issues/18.

Done means both forms are supported without errors or unwanted spacing changes, also addressing issue 18.
