Don't indent unclosed HTML tags containing server directives "<@"

See original GitHub issue

JSBeautify version : http://jsbeautifier.org/ on 2017-05-18

Steps to Reproduce

Create a test.aspx or test.jsp file with the following content

<%@Master language="C#"%>
<%@Register TagPrefix="a" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
<%@Register TagPrefix="b" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
<%@Register TagPrefix="c" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><some-content /></html>

Run jsbeautify. This will result in:

<%@Master language="C#"%>
    <%@Register TagPrefix="a" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
        <%@Register TagPrefix="b" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
            <%@Register TagPrefix="c" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
                <!DOCTYPE html>
                <html>
                <some-content />

                </html>

Expected outcome:

<%@Master language="C#"%>
<%@Register TagPrefix="a" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
<%@Register TagPrefix="b" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
<%@Register TagPrefix="c" Namespace="a" Assembly="a"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<some-content />

</html>

Suggested solution: When no closing tag is found, treat server directive tags (<%@ %>) as if they were self closing (<%@ %/>), or as if they were comments. Could this logic be applied to unclosed tags in general?
