Admins are subjected to comment flood checking

Description

Currently, when an Admin posts a comment, it's still subjected to the comment flood check, so if they're posting comments too quickly, they'll get the "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down." error.

I think that Admins should be bypassed of this error.

Not convinced manage_options is the right trigger for this change or that it is really necessary.

I think it might be better just to write a plugin which filters on comment_flood_filter and returns false for the users you want to allow fast commenting to.
