Comment (by flixos90):

 [attachment:38323.15.diff] removes those changes that were made after
 [attachment:38323.12.diff] and were actually part of separate ticket
 efforts. It also reinstates comment subtypes for now - whether it should
 remain that way is subject to discussion in the next REST API meeting.

 It also fixes the object ID being correctly passed to the
 `get_post_type()` call in `get_object_subtype()`, as discovered by
 @spacedmonkey previously.

 Except the comment type discussion, this is ready. After we have
 determined whether we need comment subtype support or not, let's implement
 that and all give the related tests a final run. When those pass, we can
 ship it.

 Afterwards, we can focus on follow-up improvements, such as #43941, #44238
 and #44387.
