Standard options for comment flagging

As pointed out in [a comment on a post about comment flagging](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/9029#comment-23006), currently comment flags only allow entering a free text message, not selecting an option such as spam or abusive.

Please could we have a list of standard radio buttons like when flagging a post? I'd still like to see the free text field for any additional details.

This would mean comments that are obviously spam, abusive, or outdated wouldn't need a message, just selecting a radio button.

## Current post flag dialogue box
