 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/14601/14601.3.diff
 14601.3.diff] updates @wonderboymusic's previous patch and filters the
 passed input for the `$commentdata['comment_author_IP']` and
 `$commentdata['comment_agent']`.  I also went ahead and added several unit
 tests.

 As noted in my [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14601#comment:16
 comment above] for the WP REST API when creating comments the local
 $_SERVER data wouldn't contain the accurate IP or user agent values.

 Milestoning this for 4.3 with my fingers crossed.
