Comments: reblogs

[gwwar]

We should detect reblogs and style the comment appropriately. Determine if we can identity reblogs without having to parse comment content.

Currently we are applying a red link because the content contains a link.

I believe we want to omit the red link icon, and use the reblog gridicon instead:

cc @drw158 if you had other thoughts

To add a reblog, follow instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/reblogs/

Sounds good to me!

Problem: reblogs are comments of type comment.
Apparently the only thing that could help us recognize them as reblogs is the comment. E.g.

<p>Reblogged this on <a href="https://coponstestpersonal.wordpress.com/2017/11/07/template-comments/" rel="nofollow">Copons Test PERSONAL</a> and commented: </p>
<p>Reblog</p>

In other words, we have no way to reliably know it's a reblog, especially if we consider that "reblog" is a localized string:
Reblogged this on %s is

• A reblogué ceci sur %s in French.
• Hat dies auf %s rebloggt in German.

(yes, I know that all these languages contain the word "reblog", but that's not the point 🙂 )

@drw158 would you be ok with us punting this for now? To more reliably mark these we might want to change the comment type when reblogging.

Ok to punt
