New description:

 In a scenario where you have a client that receives comments from the
 internet and pre-processes those comments before feeding them into
 wordpress through xmlrpc the ip and user-agent of the commenting internet
 user gets lost because there is no way of passing those values into the
 wp_new_comment function.

 `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` and `$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']` are hard-
 coded, which in the above mentioned scenario will always have the IP and
 user-agent from the client that feeds the comments into wp through xmlrpc.

 The attached patch will used passed in values and only fall back to
 `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` and `$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']` if not passed
 in.
