Feature: paginate all comments

[ngoldbaum]

Currently it's only possible to see the last month or so of comments on http://lobste.rs/u/<user>. It would be nice to be able to see older comments as well.

Adding on this: it's a big enough change that it needs to be discussed on-side in a meta thread, but I think this page should list the users' comments without threads. This page also does double-duty for users looking for replies, so it couldn't change anyways until #218 is done.

There's a number places the site does/should do pagination (homepage, search, user stories, user comments, mod log, newest stories, recent stories, recent comments, probably more I'm forgetting) without consistent UI or stable URLs. I'm open to broadening this issue to a general cleanup of pagination if someone wants to take it on.

Also - it would be nice if pages were numbered oldest-to-newest for stable URLs. I've seen bots pages over and over, perhaps because it looks /page/183 is still getting new content... when really it's just old comments being pushed farther back by new stuff.
