Ref T2222. Currently, DifferentialComment stores both (a) the text of comments and (b) various other transaction details. This data needs to map to both Transactions and TransactionComments in the long run. This diff separates out all the data which is bound for the TransactionComment table, so that when we migrate DifferentialComment itself it will only need to migrate into the Transactions table. This is a much simpler migration than the inline comment one was, partly because it set up infrastructure and partly because the data is less complex.
Basically, I'm just proxying the read/write for the comment text into the other table. All readers already go through the Query class, and there are only three writers (preview, comment, implicit comment on diff update) which are all highly regular and straightforward to test.
We can also back out of this diff very easily: doing double writes cost only one line of code ($this->content = $content;) so we have proper double writes and a trivial revert path.
