Message:

Comments: Ensure custom comment form fields appear for logged-in users

When a user is logged in, only the default comment textarea is shown by
the core comment_form() implementation, but custom fields supplied via the
fields argument are omitted. This mismatch means plugin- and theme-added fields
aren't visible to logged-in users, though they are visible to guests.

This change fixes this by moving the loop over $args['fields'] inside
comment_form(), so that extra fields are rendered, regardless of login status.

Fixes #16576.
