 Following @aaroncampbell and @jeremyfelt suggestions on #35214 this ticket
 is a first step to bring custom comment types into WordPress. This first
 step's goal is to start using `comment` for the `comment_type` field value
 of the `wp_comments` table.

 To build the patch I've tried to make sure all functions/requests now use
 `'comment'` instead of `''`. I've tested the upgrade routine with some
 comments.

 I haven't set the milestone as I'm unsure if this is something that is
 doable before 5.4-beta1. I imagine the upgrade routine might need some
 testing on websites having a lot of comments.
