Message:

Editor: Notes should not appear in the context of comments.

Prevent notes from inadvertently showing up in the context of comments - including on the Dashboard recent comments widget and the “Mine” count on the Comments page. Notes are stored as a custom ‘note’ comment type and this change ensures the note type is only returned when explicitly requested, or when ‘all’ types are requested.

The query for note children is modified to return all child notes. This fixes an issue where children were no longer being returned for the ‘note’ type.

Also fixes ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/72548.

Fixes #64145.
Fixes #64152.
