POC on a new comment on a PR or issue only #2

Description

Focusing only on editing a PR comment, the easiest case.

  • the textarea should autosize with the same quality as OEM
  • the font should match OEM
    • this way preview and edit are more in sync
    • the Overtype defaults don't like variable-width font because of bold and italic
      • we can just not highlight bold or italic at all, that will work pretty well
      • links, bullets, headers, and quotes are the most valuable wins
      • someday can explore color to signify bold and italic
  • triple-backtick syntax highlighting of major languages will just work for short lines
    • could be turned off for long lines

The point of this is to be a strict-improvement to the OEM experience in 95% of cases. Okay if 5% of cases are better off without it.
