#21579: Canonical links in paged comments should point to themselves

 Currently, the rel=canonical links inserted into posts/pages always point
 to the single-post/page view of that content. When comments are paged,
 this means

 http://example.com/post/comment-page-3/

 will have the rel=canonical of

 http://example.com/post/

 That means any comments past the first page will never be indexed by
 compliant search engines, because they will look to the rel=canonical and
 thus treat all comment pages as duplicate content.

 All comment pages after the first should probably use their own URL for
 the canonical, e.g.

 http://example.com/post/comment-page-x/
