User delete own comments

Suggestion

As previously described in #1534, we want a user to be able to delete their own comments.
Currently there's no endpoints to support this.

Use Cases

A user should be able to delete (and tombstone) their own comments.

This sums it up pretty well in the original issue:
DELETE MY COMMENT | As a commenter, I want to delete my comment so that it doesn't show publicly anymore

- Creates a tombstone
- The Delete button is probably in the Edit button area
- Single default tombstone language
- Moderator can see the text of the comment that was removed in the user drawer
- Replies stay visible

MOD TOMBSTONE OPTION | As a moderator, I want the ability to tombstone comments I reject so that I can be transparent about my actions.

- Dropdown template language reject options instead of the single Reject button
- Option chosen is shown in the comment card in the admin panel
- Replies stay visible

HIDE DELETED | As a readeer, I want to hide all deleted comments and their replies so that my reading experience isn’t too cluttered by things I can’t read

- Add ‘Hide deleted comments and their replies’ to Viewing Options, like Off Topic

CONFIG DELETE | As an org, I want comment deletion to be configurable, so I can decide how this functions

- Add to Configure page "Allow commenters to delete their comments" (site-wide)
- Add to Stream configure "Allow commenters to delete their comments" (stream-only)
- Our default for these would be 'off'

Additionally, I would also add the time someone can delete their own comment just like the edit timeframe
