Fixes #216
Description
This allows the site operator control over who is able to comment. It is configured by default to allow all logged-in users to be able to comment, but can be changed to only allow email_verified users or advanced users to comment. This also fixes #216 since it separates out the comment permissions from the media posting permissions.
It does not, however, add anonymous commenting as was mentioned in passing at the end of #216. That change is a little more difficult and outside of the scope of what I could quickly accomplish.
