Improve HTML/DW markup cleaner handling of comments

Title:
Improve HTML/DW markup cleaner handling of comments

Area:
comments

Summary:
If a comment contains incorrect HTML or DW (or LJ) markup, the commenter should be returned to the comment form with an error message, instead of getting the comment posted with bad markup. Also, the error message should be specific, instead of mentioning "entry" and "owner".

Description:
See summary. Note: ideally, this might make on-display cleaning unnecessary, but comment importing from other sites (as part of journal importing, cross-posting, or cross-reading), or comment submission by email, clients, or other means may make that unworkable in practice.

(This is equally true of entries, but everyone can edit their entries, but some users can't edit their comments, which makes it more important to spot the bad markup at submission time instead of render time.
