Message:

Comments: Noindex pages containing unapproved comments.

Adds a noindex directive to pages displaying a preview of an unapproved comment, ie pages with both an approved and moderation-hash parameter.

This is to prevent the pages from appearing in search engines which can be the case if they ignore the canonical URL directive.

Props peterwilsoncc, flixos90, joostdevalk.
Fixes #62760.
