feat(comments): add ability to deny a user to view a comment #1994

[nperez0111]

This PR introduces the ability to deny the user from viewing the comment information, the comment is still within the document, so this is not totally secure, just hides it from being viewable.

To add to this, could we e.g. add some CSS styles that make the comment highlight also invisible when the user isn't authenticated? Maybe add a HTML attribute to the editor or smth along those lines.

[nperez0111]

I like the html attribute, unsure on what the styles would be (dimmed or hidden?). Would be a good add here @matthewlipski

[matthewlipski]

I think just fully hidden/transparent, not really a point having them visible if the comments themselves aren't either imo
