 After `comments` support was declared for pages in [60987](60987),
 comments column and controls became visible as well.

 Support is declared so that editor notes work and it makes sense.

 Comments column on page list does not show / include count of notes. And
 commenting controls do not affect the ability to leave notes on the page.

 Since WordPress historically has not declared comment support for pages by
 default, I believe the column and controls should be hidden unless plugin
 or theme explicitly and intentionally declares the support.

 Props to @mirasus for originally spotting the comment controls.
