Comments Template block

[SantosGuillamot]

Description

Contains the block elements used to render a comment, like the content, date, or author for example. This should be similar to the Post Template block.

This block is part of the Post Comments Loop block, for more context please visit this Tracking Issue or its GitHub project.

Potential Settings

The settings should be the same as the Post Template block.

Requirements

This block should only be available inside the Post Comments Query Loop Block.

As mentioned in this Pull Request and this related issue, we should consider how to handle when comments are closed in a post. If I understood it correctly:

• We should show a "Comments are closed" message if comments have been opened previously.
• We shouldn't show a "Comments are closed" message if comments haven't been opened previously. We could even include a setting to hide/show this message.

Nit: I think that the name of the block should be Comment Template block to align with Post Template block. There is a plural form "Comments" in the title. It looks like we should have all blocks necessary for the template ready quite soon. Some blocks landed/were updated recently, the remaining are in progress but in very advanced stage.
