Posting a comment when a thread's title is modified introduces noise.

At comments/thread/11188#comment-27766, I modified the title of a thread. (Specifically, I replaced its title case title with a standard eng sentence, because I've since ascertained that these are more comprehensible for this purpose.) This caused @#-1 [1] to post a comment:

Thread renamed from "Posting This Demonstrated A Bug" to "Posting this demonstrated a bug." by RokeJulianLockhart

I would significantly prefer an inline revision timeline, GitLab / Forgejo / Matrix protocol-esque, than need to scroll through comments that announce thread changes. Imagine if I hadn't known of this feature, and modified the title a few times in succession! I almost did!

We'll be adding a proper comment revision history for sure - it is a temporary (hopefully not the "permanently temporary" kind) measure for tracking thread rename history that was added because we recently allowed normal users to rename threads - it's going to be a bit involved to implement, so the comments are more of an "in the meantime" thing that will be easy to clean up as it's attributed to the system user. But yeah, it can get noisy, so please utilize sparingly if possible
