 Comments: The year is 2003. Permalinks are a new thing and everyone's
 using Blogger. It's a time when opening a modal window in JavaScript to
 view a section of a website is not a completely weird thing, although many
 users get annoyed by it. b2 has recently become WordPress, and with it
 comes a bunch of functionality that will become stale over the next
 decade, remnants of simpler times.

 Twelve years later, after no fewer than three themes have intentionally
 implemented popup comments in their functionality, before being abandoned
 for at least the last six years, we've reached a time where we can put
 this era behind us. A time when we can remove comment popup functionality
 from WordPress.

 If this breaks the internet, I'll eat my hat.

 Fixes #28617
