New description:

 The attached patch allows WP_Comment_Query::query to accept three
 additional arguments:

 * `cat`
 * `category__in`
 * `category__not_in`

 The resulting comments are then filtered by these category arguments as
 well as any other arguments.

 These arguments work the same way as their `WP_Query` counterparts.

 I would appreciate advice on the appropriateness of using `INNER JOIN` (as
 I have done here) to join in the taxonomy tables to the query.
