 Follow-up to #52406.

 The confirmation message shown to a user ''after they opt-in'' to
 receiving a notification of their pending comment's approval is currently
 displayed inline with a preview of their comment.

 This means the display of this confirmation message is only shown if the
 user opts in within 10 minutes of posting their comment. If they take
 longer than 10 minutes then their opt-in is respected but they see no
 confirmation message.

 As mentioned in the comments in [comment:7:ticket:52406] 10 minutes is
 likely long enough but no research was done.

 Let's identify if this functionality needs to be improved. Options:

 * Extend the time limit further. This needs to take into consideration
 #49956.
 * Disconnect the display of the confirmation message from the comment
 preview, and always show a confirmation message. Would need to take into
 consideration the cache headers on the page.
 * Fix the comment spam problem some other way and remove the time limit.
 * Do something else.
 * Do nothing and leave it as-is.
