#43792: get_comment_excerpt filter should tell if the comment was shorted or not

 The design I am currently working on has long comments shortened to 100
 words, and a 'show more' / 'show less' link is added.

 I only want to add the 'show more' text if the comment has been shortened.
 There is a filter before get_comment_excerpt() returns that I can use to
 add my link. However it does not pass along information about whether or
 not the comment was shortened.

 As a workaround I can check if the comment ends in "…", but it
 would make sense to add a boolean value to the filter arguments to make
 this easier/cleaner.
