audrasjb 9fd3e4740d Comments: Remove novalidate attribute from comments form by default. ...

Browser support for client-side validation is now reliable. Blocking the form submission when there is a missing/invalid field prevents the possibility of losing comment content when bfcache does not restore the previous page when going back.

To retain the `novalidate` attribute, the `comment_form()`'s args now accepts a `novalidate` key which will add the attribute when it is `true`. This can also be supplied by the `comment_form_default_fields filter`, for example:

{{{
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', function ( $args ) {
    $args['novalidate'] = true;
    return $args;
} );
}}}
