#10427: The 'recent comments' widget needs to flush its cache on
transition_comment_status events

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The WP iPhone app uses the wp.editComment XML-RPC method to change the
 status of a comment.  This uses the core wp_update_comment() function to
 do the actual updates to a comment.  Which in turn calls the
 wp_transition_comment_status() function to trigger hooks that are watching
 for comment status changes.

 Currently the recent comment widget only clears the cache on comment_post
 and wp_set_comment_status events.  So comments that get their status
 changed through wp_update_comment() don't cause the recent comments widget
 cache to get updated.  To solve this here is my one line patch that adds
 transition_comment_status to the list of actions that cause the recent
 comments widget cache to get updated.

 As a side note, I think that we could remove the wp_set_comment_status
 action from the flush cache list for this widget.  That event should get
 caught by the transition_comment_status action as well.  I didn't not
 verify that this was case though, so I did not remove that line in my
 patch.
